Hello all - I’ve been taking 600mg of Gabapentin for about 2.5 years, off label use for hot flashes. I’m on good hormone replacement therapy so decided to quit the Gabapentin. I went down to 300mg for about a month, then stopped as I didn’t have smaller doses available. It’s been about 10 days of waking up at 4 am every day. My Oura ring says I’m still getting enough REM and deep sleep most nights, but I can’t fall back asleep and I’m exhausted. I stay in bed with an audiobook on and rest until my alarm at 6:40.

Any advice on how long it will take until my sleep starts to normalize again? Thanks!
