Tiagabine (Gabatril)

Tiagabine (gabatril) is a medicine for epilepsy which is only beginning to be studied for psychiatric conditions.  So far it appears to have potential benefits in anxiety, sleep and post-traumatic stress disorder.  Unlike other sleep medicines, tiagabine does not tend to make people tired or help them fall asleep.  Instead, it helps restore the quality of sleep, so that the sleep you get is more restful.
