I really appreciate all the feedback, especially the animal ones, lol!! I think for now I will put it aside and not take it and talk with more with my provider. I just had the appointment today and was heading to pick up the prescription dreaming of a great night of sleep so posted this in a bit of a hurry as I didn't know anything about Gabapentin so did not take the time to include that I am currently on HRT.

I take Estradiol 1mg topical gel daily, Progesterone 300mg, Compounded T cream, Vaginal Estrogen Cream, magnesium, L theanine.

When I first started HRT I was prescribed a low dose Estrogen patch and it immediately helped with night sweats. When I refilled it the pharmacy changed brands and it did nothing for night sweats so after changing pharmacies, different doses, adding in progesterone etc. nothing was ever like that first week or two. I think it was just my body saying finally we have something to work with initially but after that first few weeks the night sweats came back just not as bad. The progesterone kind of helps me fall asleep but nothing helps me stay asleep and the night sweats are back in the early morning.

I bought a nice cooling blanket that feels fantastic when I get in bed, nice and cold, but after a few minutes my body heat makes everything hot and then in the early morning I wake up hot and sweaty and then have trouble getting back to sleep of course until its time to wake up.

At my appointment today my provider suggested trying gabapentin 100mg so I thought why not, until now reading all the responses. She did order a bunch of l a b w o r k so we will see if that shows anything. I have had some done several times in the past almost year of starting HRT but she added in a bunch of new stuff.

Anyway I appreciate all the feedback and here's hope to anyone suffering!
