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. Yes my doctor kept trying to switch me from Trazodone to gabapentin but I swear gabapentin gave me insomnia and made me feel like I was tripping. It made my body feel tired but my brain feel wired. After about 5 days on it I got super bad insomnia and started having panic attacks and anxiety and felt like I was freaking out. Yup.prescribed. 900mg/day but usually only take 600 but with benzos too ( clonazepam and temazepam ) .. I was on lexapro for a few years which helped greatly but eventually the side effects outweighted any benefits the gabapentin helps a little but not that much and the weight gain is bad and hard to loose but thats the only side effect i get. 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. I have been prescribed 200/300mg up to 3x a day and it’s good for masking anxiety sometimes but then you get used to it and when you feel your anxiety unmuted again you want to take another gabapentin. i try to use it twice a day, once in the AM once in the PM but it doesn’t make me super tired it just give me a little bit of a cushion to relax onto when I need it (cptsd etc). i’m not Gabapentin keeps my sciatica pain to a minimal. I've taken this drug for the last four years ranging in doses between 300-6000 mg depending on what I was attempting to do. 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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. "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." The dosage of Gabapentin prescribed by doctors to treat the sleep disorder insomnia and improve overall sleep quality is generally between 100-400 mg.

This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. A study of over 350 people with occasional insomnia found that taking gabapentin 250 mg and 500 mg doses increased the amount of time people slept. The 500 mg dosage helped people sleep for longer than the 250 mg dosage. My gabapentin helped sleep for a very short while till it didn’t. Still works for my nerve issues at night but the sleep benefits turned to shit. Trying to move out my dose, don’t know why it’s turned to stimulating after a couple hours I dose. Wierd med to use for insomnia, but effective for the nerve issues. This is the first I’ve ever heard of taking gaba for insomnia. My sleeping patterns are messed up-I have never wanted to go to bed in my life-but I sleep ok once I make myself. The best thing about gabapentin for me is that it’s a mood stabilizer. I take gabapentin for insomnia nightly 300 mg. I was directed by my doctor that it should not be taken as needed and has to be taken consistently. It doesn’t really help me feel sleepy. But once I get to sleep, I get much better and more restful sleep. The only one that had almost no side effects is gabapentin. Trazadone, remeron, silenor, Benadryl, Seroquel all make me a zombie the next day. And give crazy nightmares/crazy appetite. Klonopin doesn't work well, plus I don't like benzos. Dayvigo made me very depressed and gave me crazy dreams. Gabapentin is subtle. It's better for staying asleep. 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.

I started taking gabapentin for insomnia, started at 100mg and it was working pretty well at first but gradually made my way to 400mg and wow it really helps. I stopped taking it nightly since things were getting better with my sleep, and I was fine for about a month or two, but now I am finding I'm not reaching deep sleep and waking up more in Gabapentin has an average rating of 7.5 out of 10 from a total of 132 reviews for the off-label treatment of Insomnia. 69% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 14% reported a negative experience.
