Default increased gabapentin

So ANXIOUS last night and again tonight.

I had tried to go back to the Risperdal after skipping it for a while.
Bringing it back for two nights low dose again Sat and Sunday made things almost
unbearable due to to the agitation and anxiety (including chest tightness by Monday evening).


I was lucky to remember that pdoc increased my gabapentin from 200 to 300 to help with sleep.
Of course I ignored that and continued with my 200.

I decided no risperdal tonight.
I was happy to remember that she recommended I go to 300 for sleep issues.
I am so very very grateful I remembered.
I took 2 capsules (100 mgs each) tonight plus about 1/4 to 1/3 of a capsule.
I feel o.k. and hopeful about sleep.
