I may go in tomorrow, I can't wait till 11/20


Have an appointment with a neurologist, psychologist and others to help at a local hospital. I did experience suicidal thoughts and they have subsided somewhat. I decided to get off gabapentin cold turkey and while I feel more coherent that I have felt in a while my insomnia is getting worse and I feel dizzy and need to use a cane or fall over when I am standing still. I am worried about insurance despite having medicare and a supplemental plan that will pick up most of the costs. The unpaid amount was covered through another agency as I was below the 150% threshold of the poverty level.  I am going in because people here helped my make informed decisions about getting a new P Doc. About to go to bed and would like to hear from some who have encouraged me to get help.

Missing due to extreme mental confusion. One more thing that I realized as I went to bed. The timing of my problems roughly coincides with my over application of pesticides to treat for bed bugs. Moved to a new apartment thinking I would be free of them. Wrong, I think they are under control and ordered a new mattress and will thoroughly wash all bed linens and pillows. Thinking now that I have to give it a few days before I go to hospital. Thanks for the support.

Yes, I went off gabapentin and after experiencing the changes of the release of the medication, I've found a new balance. I have to be careful with scents in general and recognize what you mean about overspraying the pesticide. That will cause your senses to go out of whack temporarily.
Best wishes getting rid of the bedbugs.
