I tried Nerontin a few years ago after much prompting from people at a pain clinic. This is embarassing but the stuff made me wet the bed and gave me some seriously bad nightmares. That's probably why the thought of taking Gabitril upset me. I am happy to report that when I take the Gabitril (3 nights now) I sleep soundly and wake somewhat refreshed (except for needing a percocet real real bad) I'm afraid I am a person that went through the trouble to get off Oxycontin only to "replace" it with another norcotic (Percocet) The saddest part is that the pain that I initialy started taking Oxycontin for is back in spades. I'm not really sure where to go from here because my intention was to be narcotic free.Again though, thank you for responding.
