Does gabapentin reduce craving for alcohol and reduce pain associated with anxiety?
human
I was prescribed by my psychiatrist PMS-GABAPENTIN (100mg 4 times a day). He indicated that it will reduce craving for alcohol and reduce pain associate to anxiety. I also take Cepralex for depression, 20mg. But I read about Gabapentin i dont not read that it is used for my condition. What do you think?
