My level is down to 811.It needs to be below 600. I'm waiting to hear from my pdoc what happens next.

I had a blood test done because I was having hand tremors and some other side effects were increased. I don't know how widely available the test is right now; I think it's a new test or at least easy access to it is new (but I think the test is new). I've been on it 7 years so having things change really stood out.

I'm feeling better although I've had a lot of headaches while lowering my dose. Those have started to decrease the last 2 days but I am assuming I'll have one more decrease so probably some more headaches before this is all over.

I do take gabapentin for anxiety as well as sleep. It is really effective for me and really free of side effects. I can't be on propanolol because I have low blood pressure so I don't know how that compares but I highly recommend gabapentin if it's ever an option.
