Thank you, Jake. I have not done anything other than reduce the gabapentin by 300 mg. As this is so new to me, I am going to make an appointment with my doctor. I had no idea of any of this when I started on these medications years ago. Thanks again for your help and I will post my progress regularly. -Sharon

I don't remember everything but basically followed good sleep hygiene protocols like
Going to bed and getting up at the same time every day & night. Not drinking liquids after a certain time. I don't drink alcohol or smoke so no problem there but it's not recommended both interfere with sleep. It decreases REM Sleep. Ciggies cause more problems if memory serves plus they are stimulants.
No TV, stereo or any other noise in bedroom. Keep the bedroom quiet, cool & dark
I turn my tv, cell phone off about an hour before bed and listen to soft soothing music before retiring. Sometimes I just sit and relax in the dark until dark.
The only caffeine I eat is from chocolate and regrettably I have cut down on it. If I have to have something sweet I'll have a dreamsicle or a rootbeersicle (whatever they’re called)
Exercise earlier than later, I go out into the sun every day, not a problem here in California.
I don't think it has been scientifically proven to help but I think it's believed to possibly help but even if it doesn't it's good for my vit D since my seizure meds cause it to metabalize quicker than normal. Stopped all sleep meds although I rarely took one since they never helped.
I did a few other things I can't remember. This doesn't happen overnight, more like months so patience are a requirement.
