I'm annoyed with my husband because he's searching every drug store and grocery store in town for a certain type of toothbrush. I found exactly what he wants on Amazon, but he insisted on going to three more stores. Ridiculous, because they won't have his desired toothbrush. I told him not to come over tonight. I'm going to watch Netflix...Versailles (I love it!).

all around~
I was on gabapentin several years ago and I remember it worked well for my anxiety. It made me dizzy in the beginning but that passed after a week or so. It starts to work quickly so you should know how it is for you pretty soon.

Only problem I remember was that I was taking 3 pills 3 times a day.
