For the first time I think I was on too much med.

The 600mg dose of Gabapentin shut the mania down fast and the amount of Seroquel I needed during the day dropped off quickly after that. I haven't needed any prn Seroquel for 2 days. I started waking up sedated again despite pushing the dose back 3hrs before bedtime. I think once I came down, it became too much med for me.

Last night I took 450mg (3/4 of a 600mg tablet) at bedtime. I didn't wake up sedated and haven't had to take a prn yet. I'm feeling pretty good today.

I see my pdoc Friday. She lets me play with Seroquel, why not Gabapentin? I figured it was worth a shot. I won't make anymore changes without discussing it with her though.
