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!

I’ve been taking gabapentin for many years. My PSA has stayed undetectable for 28 months.

A rise from .19 to .2 could just be a minor issue. If you were to consider doubling, rate, it would take a 18 months to double. Your doctor definitely wouldn’t care about it, being such a small rise. What is more important is the next number.
