A member asked:
If i take a 600mg neurontin (gabapentin) for insomnia at night and want to go to sleep at 9pm, what time should i take it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7-8pm: Onset takes 1-2 hours, so between 7-8pm, though there are better medications for treatment of insomnia than neurontin (gabapentin).
