Good morning! Sorry you are going through this and I hope I may help! I don't know if you have studied the pamphlet that comes with the different medicines, but the one for Gabapentin (Neurontin) is possibly causing most of your symptoms. I was on Gabapentin for a number of years and I was only getting worse. I read that information sheet and discovered just that, so I stopped taking Gabapentin and have had no ill effects! As for the way your body reacts when you are trying to relax and/or go to sleep, my body did that to the point I thought I was going to have to use a bullet in order to get relief but I started taking Ropinirole (Requip) and I can relax, fall asleep and sleep for long periods at a time. I take it about an hour before bedtime (as it takes about that long to kick in) and go right to sleep. When the pill wears off, (in about 10-12 hours and trust me, you will know) time to take another! Hope this helps and take care, be safe! @btsum68
