Is Gabapentin Advisable For Anxiety In An Elderly Person?
Im 40 and my Mom is 71. She is on suboxin for pain killer addiction. Can she be prescribed Gabaphentin for anxity? We recently found out she took my Dads gabaphentin that he takes for diabetic nerve pain. She feels better when taking it. We live in NY and its hard to get on the suboxin drug. Don t want to ask doctor and have her in trouble.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I would advise not to give "Gabapentin" for the pain that your mother has because this could be functional condition, it would be much better if she comes out of this condition without the help of medicines and for that she needs to practice some exercise, relaxation therapy, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
