In reply to Treating INSOMNIA with SERZONE, now GABITRIL, posted by beardedlady on March 1, 2002, at 12:18:10
If you were just taking Serzone, are your sure
you needed to stop because of the Black Box? They
didn't pull the medicine off the shelves. They just
found that it had drug interactions with other medicines.-John
> I have insomnia and panic attacks related to sleep only. I am 39, and early waking began when my daughter was four months old. Not sleeping began shortly after she quit nursing at eight months. After tries with Zoloft, Trazadone, and Xanax, we found Serzone, and it worked. I've been on it three years.

> Now, because of the black box, I have to stop. My doctor prescribed Gabitril. He said he's had a lot of success with it in patients like me (he has a lot of us, as his is an anxiety and sleep-disorder practice). I'm scared.

> If you have a similar problem and this has WORKED for you, please let me know. At this point, I'd rather hear from the folks who think it will, as my problem has more to do now with pessimism and lack of confidence about sleep than it does to do with chemicals in my brain.
