I reduced the dose of gabapentin from 400 to 300mg on Friday and was fine- until yesterday when I started experiencing a sharp increase in my anxiety, and started having catastrophic thinking, and some changes in thinking in general... It's kinda scary how fast that happened.

I don't want to deal with this misery at all, and don't want things to turn into something even uglier, so I think I will have to go back up to 400mg again even if it means my mood will be on the low side. I'm going to call and leave a message for my pdoc today to see what she says.

I'm going to be miserable until I get these symptoms under control because I can't take more than 1mg of Klonopin and drive, and I have to be out of the house every day but Thursday. I don't particularly like to be around people when I'm feeling like this....
And this was already going to be a very tough week without this psych s***.

I have PT this morning, and will tell them that it is my last session.

The diet is going very well. I'm past the point where I'm really craving the sugar and carbs, and I feel well because my body has adjusted to the dietary changes. I have Corey on a diet, but he's really not doing the South Beach Diet, and he's still drinking. Yesterday he was already ready to throw in the towel! He will probably lose some weight, but not much, unless he starts driving through McDonald's every other day again.
