" very neurotic, overthinking, analyzing everything to the point that it can drive you to paralysis" Gee, you just described the last 45 years of my life! 300 mg of Gabapentin plus 1 mg of Ativan (Lorazepam) helps me sleep. I also take 300 mg of the Gaba in the a.m. although I'm not sure it's doing anything. In addition: distraction - distraction - distraction! As much exercise as you can get and distract from the lies your brain is telling you. Long hot baths are good too. But really, in the end, I think we can modify a little bit here and there but our core remains unchanged. Annie Leibovitz put it best: "There is no inner peace, only nervousness or death" :-)
