gabapentin has a know side effect of drowsiness, so you feeling sleepy all the time is not because of interaction with any other medicines that you take you should mention why did doctor prescribe you gabapentin if it’s due to seizure it’s important that you have to take it but if you are worried about the interaction between mess than you should not worry
