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.

Yeah. My psychiatrist said it's an easy med to taper too and that it can cause weight gain. I'm NOT going off it though! Sucks you're so overmedicated.
I hope the taper off gabby works for you and you can cry again.
