"my dr. prescribed gabapentin for insomnia because she didn&#039;t want me to use nyquil or even low dose xanax. trazadone made me feel hung over so i wouldn&#039;t take that. i tried a couple times to take one 300mg capsule - which did nothing.  then i tried 2 capsules as  it was prescribed as 1-2 capsules. i laid sleepless until 4am. i felt as if someone had turned the radio volume completely down but didn&#039;t turn it off. i laid with a silent and blank mind but could move into sleep. once i fell asleep i slept until 530am when my alarm went off. i felt completely drugged, dizzy, disoriented and even once i was at work i could not remember the names of the physicians i work with daily. i didn&#039;t feel safe to drive or care for my patients. never taking it again."
