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

Gabapentin is a controlled drug here in Tennessee but there’s no reason to worry you will be taken off it. It’s a medication that could be abused but doesn’t happen to everyone. Breath
