@mare4 I take 200 mg gabapentin two hours before I go to bed. Both the doctor and the pharmacist have approved this and it is safe at this low dose. I’ve had sleeping issues most of my life. I am on Letrozole now for a year and have four years to go. Good luck!

@mare4 I currently take 100mg gabapentin 2-3 hours before I want to sleep. I do this during the week and take a break on the weekend, but that’s just a personal choice. I know others can take the 300mg dosage, but it made me groggy and unsteady, and gave me a dry mouth and bad headache. I wish you a good night’s sleep!
