Can Gabapentin Be Taken Along With Hydroxyzine And Allergy Shots?

default
Posted on Wed, 16 Dec 2015
Question: I am currently taking allergy shots 1 x wk along with hydroxyzine at night for itching. I have been prescribed gabapentin by my podiatrist for possible neuropathy in my feet. I am 72 and have osteoarthritis throughout my body. The arthritis in my feet have caused them to collapse and show increased degeneration which causes a lot of pain. I don't want to start another drug if possible. My allergist says I have a lot going into my body right now. My dermatologist is treating me for severe atopic dermatitis with several different topical steriods. Is it safe to take gabapentin??
