A member asked:
Is gabapentin 300mg normally prescribed for prurigo nodularis? is it ok to combine with topiramate used for depression/anxiety disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Neurontin (gabapentin) is good for neuritic pain. However, it has also been used for seizures. Topamax (topiramate) is primarily for seizures but is being used for migraine and by some psychiatrists for mood. This makes things complicated. Too many of these meds may cause complications. Both can cause sleepiness and feeling dopey and can cause nausea and depression.
