Kevin I was put on gabapentin two weeks ago. My doctor prescribed 300mg once a day. I take it at night. The only affect I have noticed is that it makes me sleep good at night. But I noticed that if I take it later at night, I am a little groggy in the a.m., so I take it earlier in the evening.

I used to have really strange dreams when I was on Gabapentin. I was on it for 2 years then my neur switched me to Lyrica for which there is no generic. Two years later, my neuro has now switched me to Topomax to try to help control the weight gain from the Gabapentin and Lyrica. Good Luck.
