Good afternoon @gettingbetter75 I am so sorry to hear of your week of almost sleepless nights. That is so tough to deal with and can lead to more depression and anxiety.
It sounds like gabapentin is working for you. I don't quite understand why you are taking two different sleep medications in addition to the gabapentin. Were those prescribed for you? I am just not a pill take so I don't understand the dosages.
I suppose that you may know about setting a chime that rings when it is time to prepare for bed. For us that means, medications taken, the TV turned off, digital devices turned off and a few moments of quiet meditation that begins with something like, "May I have a restful sleep tonight. May I be safe and protected from inner and outer harm." It works and can be a great habit to acquire. Let me know that you are continuing to be successful or if you have additional inquiries. Chris

@artscaping Chris, can I presume that you retire at the same time every night? Probably a good idea but it just wouldn’t work for me.
I too go through periods of sleepless nights. When I have had 2 or 3 in a row I will take an small dose lorazepam (Ativan).it generally gives me just enough help. It’s not meant as a sleeping pill, it’s for anxiety, but when I’m not sleeping it is generally from anxiety.
