Pain doc appt

Yesterday I had my monthly appointment with my pain doc. I told them my thoughts on Lyrica and gabapentin and my inability to sleep. They offered me another solution and tried it last night. Instead of taking a gabapentin at noon they suggested either I take both at bedtime or one at dinner and one at bed. So I tried doing that last night. One pill at 6. One at 8 and my sleeping pill at 10. As usual I woke up at 1AM. I then took melatonin and fell back asleep. Got up at 4, turned over and slept until 6:30. I was amazed. I was thrilled and then I thought how ridiculous it was to have to take a total of 5 pills just to sleep. But beggars can't be choosers I guess and if it works it works.
