Agreed. I take 300 mg x3 (900 mg total) by 8 pm and sleep well, pain is better with no residual issues. Gabapentin was originally developed for treatment of seizures. It slows down your your brain function to prevent a seizure. It does the same for pain mgmt. I can’t take it during the day and higher doses make me drop things without warning. A pharmacist recommended taking all 3 cap at bedtime instead of throughout the day. Ask your MD if pm Gabapentin can work for you.

I appreciate your sharing your experience with Gabapentin. I have been taking 300mg morning and evening for several years. I have severe peripheral/small fiber neuropathy, and it does help reduce the pain. However, I have been living with daily fatigue, problems with balance and brain fog. I am wondering if when you started taking all your gabapentin at night, if it reduced your daytime side effects.
