What Causes Severe Fatigue While On Gabapentin And Xanax?
I am taking gabapentin for Ms I take 300mgs 3 times daily. At night I take it with.xanax,soma and metoprolol. I am tired all the time, I wake up and need to take my morphine and metoprolol and Xanax and escitalopram and a soma. I seem lately to be more agitated than normal. I am extremely depressed and I wondered if gabapentin can cause this and if I can lower my dose. I have progressive MS and need a wheelchair and scooter to get around. I also take Coumadin for a pulmonary embolism that happened 3yrs ago.
