In reply to Re: Parnate causing extreme insomnia. What can help?, posted by sigismund on November 9, 2010, at 13:08:38
yes it appeared that way for sure. there was a time 2 years ago when even 10mg parn was working some wonders. but its a very peculiar medication. this year it more consistently has helped at 20mg and up. 22.5 i been averaging past 2 days. today i'll be going for 25mg.
this morning was quite remarkable in terms of motivation boost and sense of enjoyment.
i was able to take a nap and got 4 hours of sleep not long ago and upon waking i feel rested but my mood has dropped down a bit but may be likely to not taking any ritalin in a while or gabapentin withdrawal.
i do actually take gabapentin 1-2 times a day 300mg dose each time.
i don't know if it's been effective for sleep but i usually dont take it at night. it loses it's effect and i have to stop and start it up again from time to time and it's expensive for me so i try to take it only during the day where it will help my mood the most.
but what else do you feel gabapentin does for people? hard to find proper informaion. for me it tends to help make me more social as well as lifting my mood.
