I took Doxepin for sleep for a long time and then found out it was the cause of my carbohydrate cravings, so even though it worked well as a sleep aid, I switched to Ambien for sleep. I had a lot of trouble controlling my eating and weight while on Doxepin. As for Gabitril, my pdoc recently started me on it as I was having terrible anxiety from either Abilify or Concerta (I say it is the Abilify) but I have found that I have no noticeable effect whatsoever from Gabitril....I am very sensitive to med dosages so took 4mg for a brief period and am now down to 1 prior to going off for good. I think it is really a matter of whether or not you do well on any of the GABA-effecting drugs.
