It made me feel slightly tired at first whenever I raised the dose but other than that I feel it actually gave me more energy. I’m tapering right now though because for me it caused severe constipation and bloating. Also weight gain from water retention and increase in appetite. Unfortunate because it did wonders for my anxiety. Posts and discussion about insomnia and sleep disorders. 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. Oh and you should look into magnesium glycinate for sleep. In seriously increases the quality of sleep and 1000-2000mg is usually enough to knock someone out. I take 600-800 and I find myself becoming pretty tired. If I wasn't on gabapentin it would knock me out. Over time, I stopped getting sleepy from it. The doc increased my dose at one point, which made me feel a little sleepy, but eventually I got used to it again. I take 1800mg a day and it doesn't make me sleepy. Re: Does Gabapentin make you tired? Both Gabapentin and Lyrica do not touch the nerve pain until the dosage is at the proper level. You have to work your way up but once you hit the proper dosage they can give great pain relief. Prior to starting it, my mental health was better than it ever has been in my adult life. Gabapentin spiraled me down so low that I ended up in a psychiatric/crisis stabilization unit with suicide ideations. I’m now about 3 weeks post-med and I got myself and my life back. Just a little shaken up, though. 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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. I swear by Gabapentin, and have been on the maximum dose for years now. You'll probably feel a little high, maybe unpleasantly so, the first week, but it passed pretty quickly for me as my body acclimated. In general, it sounds like most people who try Gabapentin either see a lot of relief or not much at all. My back is messed up from botched surgeries. I have excruciating back pain. I went to pain management. He doubled me up on Gabapentin ( 800 mg 3 x a day) which I must say appears to help. But I'm tired and lazy and everything is an effort. I know depression is like that. Is that because of the Gabapentin or the fact that it's my depression? ETA: My dog Millie takes Gabapentin and Trazadone prior to vet visits as she gets super squirrelly and hard to control. It just makes her sleepy. No negative side effects aside from that. It's a pretty common medicine. My last dog was on Gabapentin during her final years due to pain from cancer and she tolerated it very well. I've only been taking gabapentin for 2 weeks now so may not be the best one to speak on this butI found it to be amazing most days, calming effects and able to sleep most days. I felt the drowsiness the next day all last week but was still able to work (WFH). This week the following day has been clearer, less brain fog. I have just started taking Gabapentin for a sleep disorder and, while I felt a little more tired than usual the first couple of days, it was NOTHING compared to the Clonazepam. For what it’s worth, I work with a guy who takes Clonazepam and he said that his body adjusted to it after a couple of weeks, and he doesn’t have that feeling at all 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. Yes, gabapentin works on the neurotransmitter GABA, which inhibits the activity of brain cells. So, gabapentin and pregabalin are associated with feelings of fatigue. But fatigue can also be due to a fibromyalgia episode. I'm struggling with the withdrawal symptoms from effexor, and my NP prescribed gabapentin to help with the anxiety and burning nerves pain. Not once did she say that I would have to go through all of this again when stopping gabapentin. 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. Gabapentin was designed to mimic the neurotransmitter GABA. It does not, however, bind to GABA receptors. Its mechanism of action as an antiepileptic agent likely involves its inhibition of the alpha 2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels Gabapentin has been life changing for me. Nerve pain has always been my biggest issue, and gabapentin has reduced it by a lot. I don't think it's particularly useful for anything else, though. I was very sleepy for the first couple of weeks I took it and I may still be a bit drowsier than I would be without it, it's hard to tell. Taking gabapentin can make you sleepy. According to studies, about 20% of people taking gabapentin experience drowsiness or fatigue. It may be even more likely, affecting 20% to 30% of people, with Horizant. However, tiredness is less common with Gralise, occurring in about 5% of people taking it.
