As far as I remember @beaquilter husband was prescribed that as a sleep aid.

IMHO that is really very strong medication if used that way. Since it is not addictive doctors are throwing pergabalin on patients for everything under the sun : / and when I say "heavy" I mean HEAVY ! I took only one pill ( when I had some damage to my lingual nerve) and had "out of body experience" @@ !!! Needless to say, I never took another one ...

Hopefully I replied correctly.
Yes my husband was prescribed the lowest dosage of gabapentin for sleeping, one pill at night didn't work, the next month they said to take two pills, it still didn't work for sleep but it changed his mood for the better and hot flashes disappeared!
After a month on it now PSA didn't go down it technically went up from the previous month (from 0.19 to 0.2)
He immediately thought it was gabapentin and has stopped it. We'll see in two weeks if PSA is just steady or what and then he might go back on it.
Still need something to sleep!
