I take 900mg gabapentin per day, is it ok to take any weight loss pills alongside these?

Dr. Mara Fiorentino answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Gabapentin: Possibly there will be no interactions. Gabapentin is a neurotrophic anticonvulsant which can cause sedation, in some cases weight gain, but it is well tolerated in combination with other drugs.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
