cant sleep because of tapering down

ive been on gabapentin at various doses for around 6 years for anxiety. at the worst of my anxiety I was on 800mg 3x times per day. i never had trouble sleeping but my psych thought it would b a good idea to try taking one gab before bed to see if my morning anxiety would improve. it didnt but i was still taking it nightly and eventually i could not sleep through the night without it despite having mo sleeping problems prior to starting that. im trying to taper off and im down to 1 300mg at night. lowering down to that point has had no issue but everytime i try to go to 200mg i have the worst insomnia and mood the next day. how long does it take to go back to normal?
