Pdoc was very pleased that we've made such great progress...

She prescribed 400mg caps of Gabapentin so I wouldn't have to split the 600mg tabs into 3/4's. The 450mg is sedating now, too. I hope dropping 50mg off the current dose helps. There's no plan to reduce the dosage to 300mg any time soon. I haven't been evened out for very long- it would be flirting with disaster.

She suggested taking a small dose of Seroquel in the am to control my anxiety. Anything I take to treat anxiety will contribute to the sedation to some extent, but I think that would really snow me. Instead, I'm switching from Xanax to Klonopin to see if that makes any difference.

My cognitive problems have returned. I think it's due to the fact that I'm not functioning at the high level I was when I was hypo, I'm slightly sedated, and I'm dealing with a high level of anxiety.

I see pdoc again in two weeks. In the meantime, I may have to rethink my position on Seroquel if my anxiety is too much for the Klonopin to handle. I'm going to have to accept at least a temporary period of sedation- that all too familiar trade off.
