What Causes Insomnia While On Amlodipine, Atorvastatin And Gabapentin?
About 6 months ago, i was admitted in the Hospital for blot clot in my right leg. I was given Warfarin for the 5 days i was admitted along with other medications such as Amlodopine, Atorvastatin and Gabapentin. While I was there I was sleeping a lot. For the last 6 months, I have only been getting about 2 hours sleep every night. I only sleep when I take the Gabapentin 300MG. On weekends, I take 600 mg. I also have severe back pain.
