Was a shared fault deal but still made me reassess that stuff. Gabapentin seems to allow me to sleep as I take a "gababomb" at night taking 900-1200 before bed and that basically is my daily dose in one shot. My experience is going much higher in dose than that doesn't really give any more relief but way more side effects.

Do you get relief the next day from taking it the night before?
I've also read about Gaba causing neuropathy or making it worse for some people. I really wonder why. I've even read about people taking it just for anxiety or insomnia, and reacting with nerve pain. One of the reasons I haven't tried it.
