I'm on a trial of Gabitril for insomnia off label. My insomnia is early awakening rather than difficulty getting to sleep. It's an anticonvulsant and is pretty benign. Safe for MAOI users. So far at 4 mg the jury is still out. Research indicates 8 mg would be better, and that it is helpful in re-setting sleep structure. So I may titrate up to that. I don't know if you could use it intermittently or not. I can find out for you when I see my pdoc in a few weeks. Only SE I have is heartburn, even when I take it with food.
Good luck,
