gabitril oh what a lovely drug .... last year i put on gabitril, multitude of psychiatric problems here . started at 4 mg then 8 suddenly they bumped me up to 16 then 24 mgs a day, well all was fine or so it seemd.... i noticed the increased sweating the forgetfulnessand i lost a ton of weight about 60 pounds in a few months.....then one night while out at a club(i dont drink) i started to feel not so well. my friends walked me to my car and that is all i remember. i woke up in the hospital 2 days later, i apparently had several dozen petite and grandmal seizures associated with the gabitril. I had sense enough to pull the car over at a hotel and go in and ask for help and then i had collapsed . when i started to come around inthe hospital i was told what happened and that i didnt even know who i was and the only thing i was able to do was tell them my sister's phone number i couldnt even tell them her name . I have not had another siezure since stopping that med. I hope everyone on it will be careful and we beaware that seizures in patients that don't have seizures to begin with can and will happen. Good luck and god bless
