If you look around reddit and google it as well, Gabapentin has helped A LOT of people with sleep issues. Especially when you can fall asleep but then wake up throughout the night. There are multiple studies you can read about as well. It might be fine for you. It often helps people sleep better, it does for me , so you might be able to come off the Seroquel, which is a much more damaging drug. The bad side effects are a small subset of the people taking it, and those are the ones who post most often on a board like this Reddit board. I love gabapentin, but if you have severe nerve pain or restless legs I would recommend Lyrica (pregabalin). Pregabalin is about 3x stronger than gabapentin. Contrary to most comments on this, I love it. It would relax my mind and ease my anxiety. It helped me sleep so much better. In all honesty, it’s all about the right dose. How well does Gabapentin work for sleep? I have insomnia and my doctor prescribed me 100mg to take every night to help me sleep. I'm just worried it might cause me bad side affects since I have never taken this drug. Anyone who is taking GP to sleep, could you please share how effective it is? i take an extended release melatonin (300 mcg) at same time as gabapentin, sleep about 3 hrs. I either take more melatonin (rapid release dissolvables-low dose) or at worst i take a low dose zdrug (I only get two hours on it)!when i have that 12-1 am waking and cannot simply use melatonin. Ive used muscle relaxer later in night as well.

Compare all 85 medications used in the treatment of Insomnia. Eri I finally got to see a neurologist at a sleep practice and he put me on 300 mg of gaba at bedtime and it has allowed me to sleep 4-5 hours per night when I had been getting 1-2 hours on average the last few months whilst on Trazodone and various OTC products. It helps me get to sleep but I’m still waking up at 4 or 5 am. Gabapentin has an average rating of 7.5 out of 10 from a total of 131 reviews for the off-label treatment of Insomnia. 69% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 14% reported a negative experience. ben "I have had profound insomnia for many years. Last night, finally I slept 7 hours with gabapentin. "Gabapentin enhances slow-wave sleep in patients with primary insomnia. It also improves sleep quality by elevating sleep efficiency and decreasing spontaneous arousal. The results suggest that gabapentin may be beneficial in the treatment of primary insomnia." By taking gabapentin at this higher dosage, I believe, I suppressed my ANS from overreacting to sleep apnea events allowing me more restorative sleep. It's only been 3 days but the improvement is drastic from being a zombie. Regarding sleep, I find no difference taking it vs not taking it by itself. If I add a benzo or cannabis, sleep can come on easier without feeling groggy. As previously stated, gabapentin is a very safe medication. I wouldn't hesitate to try 300 mg based on what you've posted. Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. Can anyone share their experiences on Gabapentin? I currently use Gabapentin for sleep and have for at least several years now. It is actually also very good for easing anxiety. It is very calming. I don’t have any side effects from it. I fall asleep easily. I wake up well rested. My neighbor has been on Gabapentin for sleep for many years. She suffered from depression and her psychiatrist prescribed Gabapentin together with other SSRI meds. She said Gabapentin works well in giving her sleep. Hope it will help you too. Most of us understand the risk of potential negative side effects of these meds. Gabapentin may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and dizziness. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and seek medical attention if experiencing serious side effects or changes in mood or behavior. Gabapentin is prescribed by healthcare professionals and should only be taken under medical supervision. Pregabalin used on occasion for me is an excellent insomnia medication. The only downside is it only works for me a couple days and then the effects crap out. I think if you only had to use it once or twice a week though it would work great. 300mg knocks me out! I've been given almost all non-benzo sleep aids (trazadone, remeron, lunesta, hydroxyzine etc) and gabapentin is the only one that really helped. Admittedly I take 300mg like 5hrs before bed and top off with two more doses later just for a nice relaxing evening. In my experience, I took a low dose of valium every day and wanted to get off. I tapered with valium and gabapentin. Broke the valium into little pieces and was having just a quarter each night by the end. Got off valium, then had gabapentin. Then, I introduced baclofen. The baclofen helped me sleep without any benzos after this taper. Tried this med multiple times for sleep. It never helped me sleep. Assuming this has addictive properties not sure it is a great replacement, I would through it in the ring with things to avoid like benzodiazepines. Never for sleep but rather for peripheral neuropathy around the time I had a microdiscectomy on L4-S1. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.
