I end up sleeping that day & half of the next. The next day I can stay awake if I need to do so, and have had to do so, but I am tired. BUT then I also take 1200 mg of gabepentin (Neurontin) & 50 mgs of Lyrica every 8 hrs, on top of several other drugs that make one sleepy.

Sometimes if the burning is really bad as I have neuropathy really bad also in my feet & hands I take an extra 600 mgs of gabepentin 4 hrs into the 8 hrs. My PM doc is good about letting me adjust my meds a bit when needed. Of course I have cleared it with him before doing so also.
