This is just a quick note to report on a medication change. I take gabapentin as a mood stabilizer. The dose I was taking in the morning was making me very light-headed, so the nurse and I decided to reduce it. The result is mania. My mind is racing, and it’s not pleasant at all. I can’t focus. I can’t carry on a conversation. It’s horrid.
Well, I called the nurse practitioner, and we’ve decided to try increasing the dose I take at night to see if that will alleviate the mania while not adding to the light-headed-ness in the mornings.
Fingers crossed.

Will pray that we have a good outcome from the medication test. If not this one, maybe another. Don’t give up hope.
I’m definitely not giving up hope. I’ve come too far and am really learning to love life, though it may not always sound that way.
