I guess it is a paradoxical reaction, seeing as some doctors are now prescribing it to treat anxiety.
I decided to continue with Gabitril. I don't feel as bad as I did a few days ago. I still think it is making things worse, but it is more tolerable. I'm hoping that this worsening represents a temporary destabilization of the system that is reflective of future positive change.
I can't help but to hope.
