Is Gabapentin A Good Alternative Of Prozac?
I have been taking Prozac or generic for it for many years. It s for PMS or that edge. I ve been taking Pramipexole and a different medicine before that for bad RLS for over a year now. (I ve had RLS since I was a kid. Just didn t know what it was.) I ve been gaining weight badly for probably the past year, about 25 pounds. I ve read that the Pramipexole can cause this. My question: Can I replace Gabapentin for the RLS and quit the Prozac also. It looks like the Gabapentin could help with both problems. Is this right?

Hello,
Gabapentin drug is used mainly for severe neuropathic pain, so you can use it. If you are comfortable, you can also stop Prozac drug.
