Well, I finally could, at 3am last night.

I've been tapering off Neurontin. When I was up to 500/600mg of it (for burning mouth) I slept like a kitten, however it made my head feel like it was going to burst (not pleasant at all).

Now I've tapered to 200mg (spoke to my neuro's secretary today and told her I'm decreasing by 100mg every 2 days). I was never on a high dose of it, but wow, I went to bed at 10:30 pm last night, exhausted from bad sleep the night before, and could not sleep until, as I said, 3am.

I have a bottle of Tryptophan in my cupboard that my nutritionist sold me a couple months ago. I used to take 1 capsule before bed. I am thinking about taking this again to sleep, but my neuro advised that it's not good on the liver. Argh!!!

I just need sleep. Would you trust the nutritionist with the Tryptophan to take 1 a night until you're past the Neurontin withdrawal stuff, or stay away from it and go sleepless?
