Hi Sami, It's called neurontin. I take 300 mg at night, sleep much better, too! Wake with a bit of a hangover, though. Hangover wears off by 9:00 or so. The 300 mg lasts almost 24 hours for me. But originally my doc prescribed 300 at night and 300 more twice through the day. I'd never wake up if I took that much, but I usually can't take much medication - I over react to many. Good luck, let me know if it works for you!
