Anyone tried Gabapentin for Fibromyalgia?

How much Gabapentin do you take for sleep? Does it help you fall back asleep, which is my issue. My Dr prescribed 100mg, which I haven't started yet. I'm wondering if that's enough to make a difference.

I took 900 mg for a couple of years, but I’m starting to use medical cannabis, and I’m now taking 600 mg. I’m working on testing to see if I can just use the cannabis to sleep. When taking the gabapentin , I wake up 1-3 times per night, but one of those times is to go to the bathroom. If I wake, I can easily go back to sleep .

I used under rhueamtolgist for fibro for sleep only and no 100 mg not enough for sleep. I took 200 mg
I used panadol and moving for pain relief

I have not heard Gabapentin used for sleep. I gave me nightmares and waking up all the time, but I was trying it for pain. I switched to Lycra, working up to 1.5m twice a day and it has helped fairly well but not completely. However I will not go any higher due to the way it makes me feel.
