Stress as a perpetuator

Hey Tony!

Why did you stop gabapentin, which I think you said you were on during earlier postings? I’m very curious! I find that it’s helpful but like you said on an earlier post, really sedating to the point that it’s hard to get motivated to do my work. That is also interesting that you noted in an earlier post that you were up pretty high in the dosage. I am only on 100mg 3x per day which helps me a lot with my MAV symptoms, but I do get breakthrough pain and dizziness after too much computer usage/fluorescent light exposure. Sometimes I think something dietary also contributes.

I’d be very appreciative for your feedback. I’m considering going higher with gabapentin but not sure about it’s ability to curb my symptoms entirely. Maybe I should just settle for feeling 70% better rather than trying to recover completely, but some of the problems I have under fluorescents are still pretty bad. What are your main triggers? What medication are you now on?

Thank you,
Liv
