Has anyone tried Progabide as a treatment for GAD?
I have heard good things about this med. It acts like a benzo but is not sedating.

Progabide (INN) (trade name Gabrene, Sanofi-Aventis) is an analog and prodrug of gamma-aminobutyric acid used in the treatment of epilepsy. It has agonistic activity at both the GABAA and GABAB receptors.
Progabide has been investigated for many diseases besides epilepsy, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, clinical depression, anxiety disorder and spasticity with various levels of success.

Hello phillybadboy!
Welcome to Psycho-Babble. I'm not sure if you meant to post just the title or if you accidentally checked off the nm box. Checking off the nm box basically erases your whole post. Could you post again if you did this?

It is a french medication, it seems most French medications for mental illness are not marketed in the USA, probably to protect the huge psychotropic market here. Though I have heard of many on here that seem very interesting only to find out it is not in USA, ugh.
