Been having struggles with the "spookies" since night falls earlier. I don't exactly know what to call it. Depression/anxiety and feeling irrationally afraid of things. For example, afraid of going to bed and sleeping.

Anyway. I realized that when I dropped my Gabapentin dose way down in August, when I was so extremely sick, I never did increase it back to where it had been. I'd stopped at 1200mg. Yeah, I can be a bit slow sometimes. So I've added in the extra 600mg/day, starting last night. Today I have felt so much better! Fingers crossed that this will work out, be helpful.

Also- my blood pressure, since stopping all SSRI's for the first time in about 30 years, is GOOD. Not high anymore! IBS symptoms have returned (interesting that the SSRI's stopped working for depression, but kept helping with IBS), but I'll take the mild IBS over the other health probs.
