A member asked:

Is it best to stagger new medications, i.e. start one a week or so before introducing another. i have started gabapentin and have baclofen prescribed. maybe i should wait to add baclofen until i've gotten to a full dose of gabapentin?

If possible, yes: It is helpful if your Doctor agrees-let them know and discuss with them, as if you start both meds at the same time, you may not know which one genuinely helps and or if you get an adverse reaction/side effect, you would not know which one caused it, etc. Best wishes.
