I agree with others about checking into an additional mood stabilizer.
As for noise - oh, my gosh, yes! Even the sound of someone talking feels like agony. Interestingly, if I play music that always makes me feel good. All other sounds - ugh.

Thanks Laurie! I may just need more gabapentin, I do not know for sure. I am not maxed out on it and I do start to feel better approx. 2 hours after taking 600mg. I am not taking it around the clock yet and I think I need to do so. (I am more agitated than I was 4 days ago when pdoc prescribed. I do see her tomorrow.
Thanks again!
