I've been having insomnia for a very very long time. It just getting worse and worse. Dr cant figure out why. Tried many sleepimg meds and some work for awhile and suddenly it will stop working. My condition is this: everytime you feel like when u about to doze off, your consciousness auto kick in and wake your brain up, it happen everytime eg: every 5 mins. it feel really awful, like something in ur brain snapped, like electricity in ur brain snapped and your heart feel really weird and stress and depress, your heart feel like a sinking feeling which is more awful then it sound. This happen every night without sleeping pill. When used sleeping pills and if it don't work or wear off, this happen but a little more intense render you completely useless the next day. I've been on trazodon and recently it stop working. Increased in dosage will only make my nose stuff and can't breath at night. So doc prescribed me with 600mg gabapentin per night. Gaba make me sleepy and same thing above happen where ur consciousness wake u up right when u about to doze off, so I take it with 50mg trazodon. It worked for like a week and now it only work 50% of the time. Now I'm getting serious twitching on my left eye everyday all day. I'm not sure which meds caused this. This condition causing serious depress, worry and stress. Some night you have negative thoughts where you can't handle it anymore, but I'm stronger than that and still have hopes that someday itll get better. Anyone have similar condition or answer pls share. Ignore grammar (haven't sleep for 2-3days -sooo tired) thx in advance

    P.s I think eye twitch is from gabapentin. But I'm afraid if I stop taking, my chance of falling asleep will become 10% from 50%

    Hiya Dave, 😎

    Wow sounds ya got a lot going on there, i've had my problems with sleep too, been on few meds for pain with bad hips, getting to sleep and the brain kicking in, know just what ya mean. It sucks yep, my doctor has put me on zopiclone 7.5mg, they do the trick most nights, also take 2 amytriptolin around 6pm, it's helping at moment and that's good. Have ya tried any sleep apps etc, there is lots out there to try, some might help a little. Hope ya get some good solid sleep later.

    Stay safe 😀

    Pete
