Hello,

Gabapentin, Diazepam, Sertraline, beer, and Kratom should not take together. Taking Gabapentin along with Diazepam, Sertraline, beer, and Kratom may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating impaired thinking judgment, and motor coordination which may result in falls and sometimes fatal injuries. He should avoid taking beer while being treated with these drugs.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
