My pdoc has increased my gabapentin during past episodes and once I've come down I've noticed the dose becomes too much for me and I get the same hungover feeling you're describing. I'm glad you're feeling better since you went down to 200mg.
Did you have a history of papasthesias prior to taking gabapentin? I used to take it in very high doses (600/1200/1200mg) to treat dysthesias, but it stopped helping a long time ago. It's funny that I used to take so much of it with little or no effect before, but the difference between 300-400mg now can cause sedation, but then again, I'm on an altogether different drug cocktail now. I hope that the parasthesias were random, and don't become a regular occurrence. |
feeling off.
I believe that the Verapamil can cause paresthesia too.
I had a rough couple of days. . . . .Sleepy in the day time and not sleeping at night. Last night I took Lunesta (a sliver of a crumb / tiny amount) and felt major sleepy from that all day. Tonight I am making an effort to get to bed soon so that I can sleep at night and feel awake in the daytime so that I can get some work done Sat. I have an important deadline due Saturday night. M |
I hope that things work out well for you Mari and you can meet that deadline today :hug:

It might have been like a withdrawal.
If I make another cut of Gabapentin, I would do it more slowly. M |
Saturday I had a clear-headed-day with the lowered dose of Gabapentin and without
the Lunesta. I took a shower and washed my hair for the first time in eight or nine days (I have been counting) The only thing I kind of keep up with I am feeling OFF is sort of taking care of my fingernails and toe nails. I do not put color on them or anything like that, but I like them short and neat and the cuticles in good (decent) shape. I missed my Sat night deadline so I will have to make a phone call Monday to work to ask for a favor. M |
I am sorry you missed your dead line.
(((((HUGS)))) bizi |
I took meds at 10:00 p.m. and felt sleepy but missed my bed "window" because I had to brush my teeth as well as take
care of a few things for tomorrow. I took a tiny amount of lunesta a minute ago. I hope that it helps me sleep such that I can wake up feeling rested instead of sleepy the whole day. M |
How are you?

Thanks
Having a hard time.
And then an extra meeting Tuesday morning. |
