So I was put on Gabapetin for pain..thru the be told it is working really well for me after a week of not working😊 my pain areas are now a 1 on the pain scale, my anxiety issues are nonexistent, and I feel like I am communicating more articulate. Only problem is that I am never tired..I mean never...I guess in writing this it means I am not fatigued which,as you know is a favorite side effect. Anyone experience this? Any suggestions on how to get to sleep...I am staying up till 6am and waking up at 9am...for a week and I not tired.

Hi Don2480,
It is very possible you are having a Paradoxical side effect/reaction. In your case the medication is causing insomnia instead of fatigue. It would be best to report this to your Dr.Diagnosed 1984

timing
Hi i also take gabopentin for pain and have trouble sleeping but i get 6-7 hrs a night ,,I take my last gabo at 7 pm with a muscle relaxer then at 9 PM I take a tylenol PM usually can sleep by 10 or 11 .. Another thing is get allot of exercise each day even if exercise brings on pain it has to be done .
Good Luck
