A member asked:

Is it safe to take gabapentin (200mg x3 a day) and valerian root/passion flower for sleep? also having anxiety problems. is buspar safe with this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interactions: I believe it's best to ask your pharmacist this question. He/she has better access to this kind of information. I also believe that there is potential interaction between buspar and gabapentin.
