"The medication Gabitril is never in stock! Both CVS and Walgreens have to wait way too long to fill prescriptions, putting patients in danger. This is not a medication you can just stop taking. Every 3 months there is a long delay. Wholesaler McKesson (wholesaler for CVS and Walgreens) apparently doesn't receive any of the medication."

"My daughter has taken this for about 25 years. For the most part, controlled seizure activity. However, 5 years ago, had several breakthrough seizures. Got them back under control for 2 years, then another seizure, and another 2 years, and another seizure. One, she quit breathing, and this last one, two days ago, lasted 45 minutes. All of the seizures in the last 5 years have had a strange eye movement with them. I looked up rare side effects today on an odd chance I could learn something, and sure enough, this is a side effect of Gabitril. Odd that it is showing up now, but maybe because she's been on it so long. I don't want to change, but it might be necessary. I have to agree with other postings that it is difficult to get, and have found ourselves searching all drug stores in 100 miles to try to get enough pills until the refill at her pharmacy could get them filled. Very, very scary not to be able to get the prescription when you are so dependent on it. Like they said, you can't just quit taking and make up later."

"Controlled neural activity for a while but ended up being hallucinogenic, thus it could no longer be used."
