I started taking gabapentin recently, which will hopefully do something for my peripheral neuropathy once the dosage is raised enough. To date at 200mg last thing at night, the only effect I have noticed is that I go to sleep much faster. But if I wake up, it is as difficult as ever to get back to sleep again. When I used to need small hours trips to the bathroom I'd get back to sleep quite easily, but now I mostly don't need those trips but wake up anyway and more often than not find it hard to sleep again. I don't know what has improved the nocturia and apparently reduced my sleep requirement but I suspect that PM may be involved somewhere.
