I'm so glad my pdoc is reasonable and is doing this 100 mg at a time instead of what yours did. What was that, 800 mg at once? That would be awful.
I slept really well last night with the lowered dose. So hopefully my awful night was just a fluke or one of the bad nights I have from time to time.
I really want to be on less meds. Including my physical meds and vitamins/supplements I'm taking 32 pills and one patch per day. Some of those I am taking a number of pills to get to one dose (like 4 100 mgs of gabapentin so it's easier to adjust than a 400 mg pill would be) but still, it's 3 handfuls of pill every night.
