Ed,
Calm down and know that things are going to be okay. Being as upset as you are is not going to help you, and you must trust that it will be better if you try to calm down. Do whatever you need to do to make sure you can rest tonight. Tomorrow is a new day and you will find new strength to work on this a little bit more after rest. Each day will get a little better to deal with if you take it slowly, working on something each day little by little. Tonight your task is to calm down and rest. This will take time, a lot of time, but you have the mind and will power to do it but you have to break it down little by little.
As Mark said Gabapentin at 300 mg is not much. It is how much I take. My neurologist thought that it would not be enough and she told me to double the dose if it didn't work. Did yours tell you that? Can you double it or can your wife or son call your doctor on call to see? Is there anything else you can do to calm your nerves right now? If there is, do it or ask for it.

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.
Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
