Well it seemed to go pretty good with the new doctor today.  She basically confirmed what I thought.  That the gabapentin had to go.  It's not doing what it should do for me.  It's making me sleep a lot, possibly a reason for me gaining some more weight (although my diet doesn't help too much) and that it was making me lethargic.  As a mood stabilizer its not doing the trick.  She did say that I should stay with the VA because if I do lose my benefits, the medicine is very expensive.  She felt that my doc was trying to do the right thing for me but he just needs to listen to me a little better.  We left it off that I was going to go back to the VA and her proffesional expertise wasn't needed.
