It has never helped me for sleep. Even Trazodone works better than that (though then you have the "Trazodone-hangover" effect until 4 PM or even later). Even a small dose (25 mg) of Trazodone is helping me sleep better than 300 mg gabapentin.

I am talking closer to 900mg gabapentin.
Trazodone is known to be sedating.
Trazodone can affect the heart's QT interval prolongation, as can Seroquel. If so, these are potentially dangerous to use together. An EKG would tell more about how drugs in this category affects each individual.
My pdoc and my pharmacist will not allow me to mix these two meds. This was even before an EKG.
Just mentioning so you will be aware.
I am not a health professional. Please check with licensed professionals, like your pharmacist and/or pdoc.
