Greetings...I started taking Gabitril over a month ago..started on like 4mg at night and i am in the process of increasing my dose to 24mg at night. I have had a lot of intense changes currently (moved from atlanta to WV to baltimore) and i am also on HIV drugs, so if there have been any changes in me, its kind of hard to tease out. But having been on Depression/panic meds for 8 years or so, I know for me, that i do not usually "notice" positive benifits of these meds. They usually are gradual for me. I have noticed that i have had more occassions where i can actually see the leaves, not just the trees. That is my analogy for being able to see the details in life instead of life being a background screen, which it is often for me when i am playing in panic mode.
