Random dosing

Hi all...male 51.

I have had terrible physical symptoms since covid in 2022. The slightest thing sets off my nervous system (big meal, too much exercise, hot or cold, stress etc) and i get burning skin all over, shivering, anxiety and panic. Docs said it was mental health but its always started in the body first and never in my head.

Anyway after 3 years a doctor said it sounded like my nervous sytem was compromised after covid and suggested gabapentin.

However i was told take up to 900mg a day as needed.

So i started taking it as needed and would get zen like calm for short periods but the symptoms always returned.

I have since spoke to a different doctor who advised it should be taken regular as it is not a rescue drug.

I have just started taking it now 3 x a day but now rather than zen i feel like my body has a background anxiety and burning all the time. Its only been 2 days.

Is this to be expected as i now have the drug in me constantly rather than intermittent? Its a little disconcerting as i was expecting it to help not make me worse.

Thanks..
