I had the appointment with my psychiatrist. It went pretty well.

She did agree to increase the Gabapentin by 300mg. I believe that's the med that's most helping with hellish anxiety, so I'm hopeful about that increase. Amazingly, she agreed to prescribe 12.5mg. of Seroquel for sleep - buuut, only enough for half a month. She doesn't want me to take it every night. That makes no sense to me, but at least I'll have it sometimes. It will be nice to sleep well...sometimes

I did not tell her that I still have 1/2 a bottle of Seroquel from my previous pdoc. Being able to get decent sleep makes life so much more bearable, as we all know. So I figure that I have at least a month of good sleep. After that, I can supplement the Seroquel with ZzzQuil or other otc sleep meds. Melatonin. Whatever.

Years ago my mom gave me like 4 or 5 bottles of seriquil and I took either 1 or two that night I slept for almost 2 days lol my wife actually threw them all away.

You know I might ask my doctor for a script of that I take Ambien but I still only sleep like 4 or 5 hours a night. Thanks for bringing that up I had forgotten how well it made me sleep.
