Ugh!!! So mad!!!!
I already take 40mg of diazepam scheduled. I don't want to be on TWO controlled substances.
Anyway. Other than that I'm good  . Got some Journaling and novel work in this morning. Slept in until 4:00AM. The seroquel increase seems to be helping my sleep for the most part. Still have been having nights where I wake up at around 1:30AM and can't fall back asleep. But I think it's just because I'm excited to write |
I am envious about writing!
I also take 1200 mg of Gabapentin to ameliorate EPS effects of antipsychotics and I simply cannot be without Gabapentin. I know my pdoc will continue prescribing it even if it becomes a controlled substance, but I share in your indignation. Gabapentin has so many uses and should be available for people who need it without them having to jump through hoops.
