I suffer GAD and insomnia. Tiagabine proved completely ineffective for anxiety or sleep. It seemed to help for a couple days, but then stopped working. A higher dose did not help. Pregabalin was better, but its impact faded quickly and it was unreliable. Eventually, pregabalin stopped working entirely. For me, benzos are only good for inducing sleep, but the sleep architecture is so disrupted that I never feel well in the morning after taking some the night before. My doctor would not prescribe vigabatrin because of the potential for serious side effects. Phenibut has been the best GABA drug for me, but like all the others, tolerance builds quickly - it is not a solution to a chronic illness.
In short, GABA related drugs have proved ineffective for me and have been a nightmare to stop taking.
That is just my personal experience. I hope you have more success with these GABA agents.
