It will take more time to be able to draw any conclusions about what the gabapentin is doing for you. It's only been 2 nights. Consider also that withdrawal is confounding the situation. It's part of the dynamic.

I came to realize gabapentin's benefits over time. Not immediately. I don't know if it had to build up or not, or if I just needed to give it time to reveal itself to me, but that was my experience.

Glad you are off to a good start with your words goal.
