Hi,
If your mother is not experiencing any reaction on Gabapentin, it is perfectly fine to continue Gabapentin. If she develops a rash, hives, breathing difficulty etc discontinue Gabapentin and follow up with her treating physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
