After that I went on lamictal and that took care of things until I had to stop that too (allergic reaction) after several years.

Like others I am not good at taking meds during the day. I take my whole gabapentin dose at night (1200 mg at 8:30 and 300 mg at 11 PM). This works well for me. Sometimes really well and sometimes just well but it's better than anything else has been.
