long before I started taking Gabapentin. Now I take 600 mg 3 times a day. I don't think that's what's kept me from sleeping, though.

For a very long time I've been drinking a lot of tea, hot and iced. My mom told me to drink decaffeinated tea in the evening. She said it helped her, so I tried it and it helped me too.

I only drink decaf iced tea and I only drink my regular hot tea during the day. I haven't been up all night; I just got up. I went to bed about 9:30, so I got some sleep tonight. I'll get up and make me a pot of hot tea in a minute. I'm glad I can take the Gabapentin because I really need it. It's the only thing that's worked for the kind of pain I have.
