I've been prescribed Gabapentin for sleep. I can only sleeping if I've had about 5 or 6 hours the night before but I'm tired through the day. If I sleep 8 hours I'm not tired enough to sleep that night. I also have a lot of anxiety and my whole body tenses up, I try to mindfully relax my body but within a few minutes I tense up again. 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. I only have limited experience with gabapentin. I've used it 3 times, high-igh doses all three times, and I slept very well afterwards. But I wasn't primarily looking to use it as a sleep-aid though. My plan would be to take 1 dose of 300mg before bed. At this dose there shouldn’t be much risk. Gabapentin has diminishing returns. The more you take in one dosage the less is absorbed. To maximize the absorption you want to space every 300mg ~30 minutes apart. However, this is not considered when prescribed by your doctor so your 1200mg dosage accounts for this bioavailability ceiling. 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. As a new user of Gabapentin, prescribed for insomnia, at just a 100mg dose before bed so far I haven't seen the sleep benefits yet but really hope they come at slightly higher doses. If you just down a bunch of pills, chances are you won't be feeling much of anything, besides a very subtle high. However, if you dose correctly, you'll be feeling fucking amazing for a long duration, and be 100% functional. It becomes a very nice opiate without the side effects and addiction. HOW TO PROPERLY USE GABAPENTIN: I've been taking between 100-300mg gabapentin as needed for sleep for about 4 months now. On the higher end of the dosage, I get decent sleep for about 6-7 hrs. I combine 100mg with weed sometimes and it works OK but not nearly as well as 300mg. No morning or daytime grogginess. I would not use Gabapentin off label for sleep. There’s much better meds for insomnia. I’m gabapentin lower dose for nerve issues at night (just nightly dose) and it’s sleep benefits dissipated quickly. I can take a larger dose to sleep but as an insomniac myself it only gives me “short sleep” as it cannot keep me asleep. 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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. 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. Gabapentin isn't actually a "sleeping pill" but because it causes drowsiness, it is frequently prescribed to help people sleep who also have leg pains/discomfort. For me, it simply didn't work. I was told that it takes awhile for Gabapentin to work so I stayed on them for about two months. If the ONLY reason you are talking gabapentin is for sleep, there's much better meds for that with less horrible side effects. Gabapentin is normally used for Nerve pain/neuropathy. Talk to your doctor about a mild sedative. whats the best dose for just sleep. i just got prescribed gabas and want to use the lowest dose possible to just sleep. i have 300mg caps. thanks.
