Should Tiagabine Be Taken While On Xanax?

I am currently taking Xanax and pain meds and have for awhile. My pain management Dr. has put me on Tiagabine Hydorochloride, 2mg. I do not have seizures and my druggist have suggested I not take them. My Dr. says yes and after what I have read I am very unsure of what to do. Are these pills used for other conditions other than seizures? What do you advice ? I have only taken 3 of these pills and he wants me to take 3 a day. I personally don t think I should.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Drugs like Tiagabine can be used as pain medication. Its not necessary that their anti epileptic effect alone is utilized.
