I can get to sleep without a problem--Melatonin and sometimes a puff of medical Cannabis--but I wake up with nerve pain (past 9 months) like I've been shocked while I'm sleeping. It can wake me up at times. Anyone else experience this? I've been offered Gabapentin but I really don't want to take a med.

Good morning
I get cramps in my lower legs wakes me right up.the only thing that works for me is to stand up next to the dresser and stretch. Havn't found anything that helps.
You can get a daily med.but it only happens maybe twice a week so i hate to take more meds.

I resisted gabapentin for YEARS. And am so sorry I did! Yes, 3:30-4am PAIN IN LEGS and awake. Just awful. And exhausting. Sleeping thru the night now! What?!
