Since I've been taking Gabapentin, my anxiety and panic attacks have gone away. But lately I've been having trouble sleeping and it was the worse it's been tonight...

Tonight, I was exhausted so I decided to lay down a bit earlier than usual. Every time, right before I fall asleep, some random thought will be drifting through my head and I'll suddenly jerk and have what I guess is a "mini" panic attack. My body jerks, my heart rate increases, I feel dizzy/light-headed and scared. It happens like right at the moment I'm drifting in to "dream land". Anyone else having this problem?

I'm new to all this and still trying to figure out how to deal with this stuff...Any advice/tips would be appreciated. I'm gonna try putting some kind of easy-going movie on and see if that helps me fall asleep without the attacks.
