Saw my pdoc. We called the medical center to get EKG results.
I am already on Celexa/citalopram, which can cause QTc interval prolongation.
An EKG showed us my current QTc interval, which is already prolonged enough so that we cannot safely add another med which has this same potential. This rules out using/trying many meds. (Adding such a med puts me at risk for sudden death.)

We are trying gabapentin to help with sleep. My first night on it was last night. I was wide awake. I am hoping I don't get any hangover effect.

Some of the meds we may consider to be relatively benign may not be safe for everyone, especially when combining more than one drug which has the potential for QTc prolongation. I hope everyone is safe in this regard.

Love to All!
