Excessive Sleepiness Being On Neurontin

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Pietermaritzburg, ZA

I have been to a Rheumatologist in Cape Town . He has put me on Neurotin. I am on the full dose 800mg in the morning and 800 mg in the evening. The problem is that I have gone form only getting 2 to 3 hours sleep a night to , sleeping the entire day. I am awake from around 4pm to about 1 or 2 am then wake up at 5:30am, have tea take my meds and within an hour I am fast asleep. I fall asleep in pain and wake up in pain. Has this happened to anyone else? This is madness !

No problems with the neurontin making me sleepy but the muscle relaxers do. I take Zanaflex.

Sleep

How are any of you getting to sleep? I will fall asleep, but it's only for 45 minutes and then it's off and on for four hours and then I'm just up. I've tried ambien, lorazepam, temazapam, flurazapam, valium, zanaflex, flexeril, sleepy time tea,melatonin, valerian root, and some antihistamines.
