"after a 4 day hospitalization for anxiety and to reduce prescription drug usage i was disturbed by the zombifying drugs i was prescribed (trazodone, abilify, lithium).  i&#039;d been having a very hard time leaving my house and answering the phone.  i was eventually prescribed gabapentin while i continued to titrate off of xanax.  while i&#039;ve started craving sweets and drinking sodas ( i ate an entire cake in 24 hours) i am feeling much better.  it does not, however, help me sleep.  i try to take my last dose before 6pm.  i experimented last night and took it right before bed and i woke up every couple of hours.  i have unusual reactions to meds and  adjust my expectations and understanding of side effects. this is a helpful drug for anxiety."
