I'm glad she is working with you. Hopefully your doing the slow titration up on lamictal and just remember you prob won't feel anything till you hit 100 mg probably. I'm down to 150 mg of it a day. I used to be on 400 mg but took 2 years of going down very slowly to get to 150 mg. 400 mg was just hitting my brain too hard and was having issues talking/thinking. My pdoc said 400 mg is the max dose for BP (i wanted him to raise it at one point) he said over that the effect is pretty null. I've heard people say they're on 450 mg though. I think the max dose for epilepsy is like 600 something mg.

With the clonazepam if you're in a bind and need it to work faster you can chew it. Found that out a funny way, if you're interested PM me. haha. Oh man I miss that dude.

Are you taking the gabapentin all at once or at different times a day. I want to say it has a short half life and is usually written as 3x a day. I had tried taking all of mine at night for a while because I was trying to fiddle with my meds so I wouldn't be tired during the day but the anxiety got really bad during the day which is why I take the 200 mg in the AM just to get some in my system. I tried going down to 100 mg and that was a no go. ha.

If you have any questions about meds I know too much. If all else fails you can find out a lot about meds at crazymeds. well at least you used to be able to. I haven't been there in a while.

I hope your agitation and anxiety start to lessen.
