I'm almost a week into trying Gabapentin, for the second time. I take 300mg at night and I am supposed to increase to 600mg tomorrow night. So far it's not doing anything for my headaches but my doctor said it would take a few weeks to take effect. It makes me more anxious than normal. Makes the mind race constantly.
One night I did have problems falling asleep, feeling kind of jittery as you mentioned, but it only lasted a few minutes. I am also taking 30mg of Amitriptyline before bed so that acts as a sedative. Since I have been taking it I do feel more groggy in mornings. I usually lay in bed for at least a half hour longer than normal just trying to decide if I really want to get out of bed or not.
You only taking the Gabapentin or anything else?
