Insomnia
"I take Effexor for anxiety which has greatly increased my insomnia. Without something for sleep, I&#039;ll wake up anywhere from 20-30 times a night. I fall asleep easily but wake up repeatedly. I&#039;ve tried many things over the years to try and help improve my sleep; 5HTP, SAMe, Melatonin, phenibut, klonopin, trazadone, seroquel, etc. The gabapentin is a life saver. I take it at the same time every night and sleep like a baby. There are no side effects that I can tell and ZERO grogginess in the morning. I&#039;m amazed that I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. I haven&#039;t slept this well since I was a child. I highly recommend being open to trying this if you&#039;re suffering like I was."
