thank you for your time. I am suffering with a bout of depression and have been for just over three months. I have been prescribed gabapentin for my anxiety. I have been doing some reading and do not see anything about the drug and my condition. is it ok to take?
Hi dear I had gone through your query. Gabapentine is useful for anxiety but it won't be indicated in depression. Depression requires proper psychological evaluation and assessment. It can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazepine. In SSRI sertraline / Escitalopram / paroxetine will help. Benzodiazapine like lorazepam and clonazepam will be useful in anxiety also. Psychological counselling and supportive psychotherapy will be useful. Consult psychiatrist and get help. Thank you.
