Because I'm overmedicated and it's making me unable to do much of anything besides sit on the computer all day. I'm emotionally numb and haven't cried since someone I laoved died 3.5 years ago. And I need to sleep so much that half the day is wasted by the time I get up.

Gabapentin is the easiest sedative to reduce so I'm going down 100 mg/night if I can. I still have that much as PRN; this is a very low stress attempt. I just want it to work. I'd really like to get down to 300 at 11 (I take 1200 at 8:30 and 400/500 at 11) at least. She said it might make losing weight easier too.

I'm fortunately getting sleepy again, I think. I Hope.
