That's an interesting point you make. I was on Neurontin for quite awhile and when I look back, it may have affected my sleep. My husband says I would quit breathing for 20 seconds or more......and I started snoring
I was going to go in for a sleep study - until I found out how much it cost.
Even tho insurance would cover it, my 20% copay would have been out the roof.
I guess I'll never know.

btw, I'd like to drop-kick your PCP into the sea of forgetfulness
Too many people suffer needlessly because of undertreated pain conditions.

I hope you can get this sorted out so you don't have to use the breathing machine.
