Hello @wideawakechas, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are not able to sleep and the gabapentin doesn't help you. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some suggestions that may help if you have not already tried them - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/managing-peripheral-neuropathy/

Have you discussed the trouble you are having sleeping with your doctor and that gabapentin is not helping with your symptoms?
