Wow,

I take 900 mgs each night. I have even taken 1200 mgs. Never had a problem. Too bad you can't take it. It has been a lifesaver/sleep save for me. Hope you can find something that works.

I was on Klonopin (clonazepam) before the gabapentin for the same reason. It worked but left me sleepy all day.

Maybe since my disability was approved and I don't have to struggle to think so much the muscle spasms will not be as bad.

I have a doctor's appointment today. He listens to suggestions very well but doesn't know what else to try.

No other meds recommended and I don't mind because of all the problems I have with meds. Continuing with Soma and go back in 6 months unless anything changes.

Muscle relaxer. One of my main problems is muscle spasms which create headaches and pain throughout my body. Less muscle spasms = less other problems for me. The muscle spasms are from my malfunctioning brain, not actual muscles.

I'd consider getting your medical marijuana card. Marijuana works great as a muscle relaxer.
