Gabapentin and Dreaming

I was on Gabapentin for the last month or so and found a change in my symptoms. My pain wasn't as pronoun... (although still existed) but my fatigue went through the roof. While I was taking the medication I was experience vivid dreams and was wondering if the medication was causing this. Since i've stopped taking Gabapentin My dreams have actually gotten worst. I'm having a bit of a problem... I keep remembering things that have happened in the dream while I'm awake and I've mistaken dreams for reality more than once now *hasn't been too serious since nobody has noticed yet* - but i'm really concerned about this. Anybody else heard of anything like this?

I can't remember how I was on gabapentin, but right now I'm on lamictal and having the same problems! My dreams aren't real scary, but when I wake up it takes an hour or more to figure out what's real and what's not. Sometimes I even have to ask my husband about something to make sure it was just a dream. They are so freaky real I can't tell anymore. And I've only been on this for 6 days!

It also messes with my sleep big time! When I take it and go to bed I fall into a very deep sleep. Then wake up for about 15 minutes. Then fall asleep real heavy again. I wake up at least once an hour or so. The next morning I wake up at 5:00-5:30 and can't get back to sleep. I've tried going to bed later to see if that will help but it makes me wake up ever earlier. I'm so tired the next day I can't stand it!
