"Conclusions: Gabapentin enhances slow-wave sleep in patients with primary insomnia. It also improves sleep quality by elevating sleep efficiency and decreasing spontaneous arousal."
So maybe I should increase my Gabapentin dosage since I have bad sleep efficiency with a lot of arousals... but at any rate, keep Gabapentin @ raspberrytorte it is good stuff. It is probably the most benign of all your meds. I am surprised the pdoc wants you off of it.
the primary reason I take it is to ameliorate EPS from APs.

Yeah... I don't know why either! I was like HELL no. I'm NOT going off my gabbies!
