Last couple of nights I haven't slept very well. And today I'm feeling really tired and now I'm even getting a headache and just passed through a stomachache. (I am on my monthly, of course I always feel physically worse these days). But the sleep thing last night was weird! I was up a bit later, but almost as soon as I took my Gabapentin, i felt like I was passing out tired (not literally passing out, but I was even struggling to walk and felt like I could knock out any second.) I've been on this med for almost 2 months and this is the first time I have felt that tired. Could just e a combo of things, but was still weird.

Anyway, while typically the drug has been helping me get better quality sleep, as I said, the past few days were not restful. Period being the main reason the first night, but last night I think it was more from dreams. Very active stressful dreams.

Ugh! On the exercise front, I've been trying to get back into it (again!) because I think the Gabapentin was making me gain weight...somehow. Possibly it was just making me feel lazy from the drowsiness. So I'm really trying to get back into exercise to see for sure if this is weight neutral for me or not. But stupid period has slowed me down. But once I get back on track, then I'll consider talking to my doctor about the effectiveness of this drug. I don't want to gain weight, but the sleep has been nice,...

But then this is also doing nothing for my "ocd tics" or my body focused repetitive behaviors like GP said it should. If anything, these tics are worse! (Talking about hair twirling and fingernail picking, even trimming cuticle skin obsessively) No idea what to do about this.

Thought there was something else? Maybe food stuff? Honestly, I mean I have been eating deep fried all month, but it's not like deep deep fried or with a lot of dough (and it's gluten free chickpea flour) so it's not AS unhealthy. Plus I feel like it's keeping me from binging less. And I still have my hummus and carrots or celery as a snack too. But husband keeps picking on me about the deep fried. I'm only eating it because he needs me to make it for him right now! I can't be expected to have that much control, despite what he believes. :P

Ok, well if that wasn't it, it doesn't matter as this is long enough. I actually have been trying to keep up with this thread, just usually am not online to comment or react to everything. Hugs everyone! Keep up the good work and good efforts!
