I do know the pain increases significantly if I miss a dose, but not sure about the twitching
Hi Ragtop262. As you know twitching was my 1st symptom too. I stopped my sleeping meds 2 nights ago and realized my middle of the night twitching had pretty much stopped. I did get a pre-twitching feeling one night but I got up and stretched and it was gone. It's only been 2 nights and I know I must wait longer before I get excited. I'm thinking the gabapentin has controlled it. I don't know how much it helps my burning and would love to stop the drug but I'm not ready to face the possible consequences.
