I am finally getting some good sleep but am groggy also in the morning until I take a nice hot shower. So far I think I am responding quite well to Gabapentin. No pain or discomfort during the day.

I took it for about a year for pain in my legs especially at night in bed. After awhile it stopped working so I stopped taking the medication.

makes me really hard to wake up in morning real groggy

It works for fibro well. Lyrica is another one that tends to help with fibromyalgia.
It also will help for neuropathy.

I was taking Gapapentin for pain but had lots of side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and pressure headaches. I have since been weaned of the medication by family doctor due to all the side effects I was experiencing.
