"gabapentin is the best medication for insomnia in my opinion. if you want a solid  9-10 hour deep, refreshing sleep, i recommend combining with tegretol (carbamazepine). however, gabapentin on it&#039;s own is great for insomnia. i have sleep maintenance problems. i go off to sleep without any trouble, it is staying asleep which is the problem. waking up after 2-3 hours. i go to work feeling like a zombie. i also suffer with tension headaches, it&#039;s horrible.  gabapentin is great for both going to sleep and staying asleep for several hours

i seem to nod off to sleep and then dream constantly, but gabapentin has stopped that in it&#039;s tracks. some people say they have vivid dreams, not me. gabapentin helps me to have a great, deep sleep."
