Gabitril

[Guest guest]

Has anyone used the drug Gabitril? If so can you share

your experience. I live in Arizona and have had CMT for

55 years. I am pretty fortunate, to have only to wear leg

braces until now. The CMT has moved from my fingertips to

mid arm in just two years and is taking a toll on me. But

anyone living here I have just been referred to a new

Doctor in Phoenix. He specializes in only " exotic "

diseases, and CMT is on the top of his list. I will see

him the end of August, and hoping to have new information

to share with you all.......MY MOTTO is " We cmt'rs have

more will than won't "

Where in Arizona do you live. When my husband retires we have been

considering moving to Arizona or New Mexico. We lived in Yuma for 1 year

while my husband helped build a Co-Gen plant. The heat was very good for my

RSD I wasn't diagnosed with CMT yet. The tremors and coldness were almost

gone not as many episodes. I did my own therapy in the pool and had a friend

that help stretch me what a work out you can get from a pool. Really was a

very nice year even had all the craft shows for me to attend or participate

in.

I was given Gabitril to control my panic attacks. I never took it because I

felt it was just to much medicine for what I needed. Sorry I have not been much

help.

Hi ,

Gabitril is an anti-epileptic medication like Neurontin. It is used

for pain, drepression, weight and anxiety too. It works on the brain

chemical GABA, much like how Neurontin works. You can look it up in

the PDR and other links below. I have not taken this, so my personal

experience is zero here.
