<s>[INST] thank you for your time. I am suffering with a bout of depression and have been for just over three months. I have been prescribed gabapentin for my anxiety. I have been doing some reading and do not see anything about the drug and my condition. is it ok to take? [/INST] Hi  dear  I  had  gone  through  your  query.Gabapentine  is useful  for  anxiety  but it wont be indicated  in  depression.Depression  require  proper  psychological  evaluation  and  assessment.It  can  be  treated  with  medicine  like  combination  of  SSRI  and  benzodiazapine. In  SSRI  sertraline  /  escitalopram  /  peroxetine  will  help.Benzodiazapine  like  lorazepam  and clonazepam  will be useful  in anxiety  also.Psychological  councelling  and  supportive  psychotherapy  will  be  useful.Consult  psychiatrist  and  get  help.Thank  you . </s>
