Ladies - if taking gabapentin how do you feel with this drug and does it really help reduce hot flashes and insomnia? This is something I a truly struggling while on Letrozole.

I take 400 mg gabapentin in the evening for back related issues and am and anastrazole. I do not feeling like it helps with my hot flashes.

Managing side effects from hormone therapy like Letrozole can be really challenging, and many community members have shared similar experiences with hot flashes and sleep difficulties. Gabapentin is sometimes prescribed off-label for these symptoms, and hearing from others who've tried it could provide valuable insights for your discussion with your healthcare team. Connecting with fellow community members who understand what you're going through can offer both practical tips and emotional support during this difficult time.

Gabapentin did nothing for me. I have been struggling terribly with insomnia. I’ve come to dread the end of the day.

I was taking gabapentin 300 mg and moved to 100 mg and I don’t think it helps me . I stopped it but I do think it was lightening my night hot flashes

Vicki I agree. I too dread the end of the day and I am often exhausted. 4 different sleep aids and without them I am up all night.
