Mixing medications: lacosamide (Vimpat) and lamotrigine (Lamictal)

I'm taking ,25 and half of .25 of xanax nightly since 1985 for anxiety and panic disorder My dr prescribe me 100 mg of gabapentin for back pain, should I take that in the morning and not mix with xanax.. Thank you,,

I would suggest checking with your physician and pharmacist as to when best to take them. I was taking seizure medication but was forgetting my evening dose so my Neurologist agreed I could take all medication in the morning. It also depends on how these drugs affect you. My primary still wants me to take a cholesterol medicine at night but I think it's best to take it regularly than missing doses so I take it in the morning.
Gabapentin is probably the least potent of seizure meds although it does make many users sleepy.
They could increase side effects if taken together but your dose of each is minimal. Personally, I’d take them when I wanted unless I was having bothersome side effects but call your doctor/pharmacist!
Take care,

I take my cholesterol in the mid morning, no problem..I already checked with the Dr about taking my meds together he said alright, but the pharmacist said not to take my xanax at the same time..I'm taking gabapentin for my back pain...

You raise a great question and like has already been said I trust my neurologist, but my pharmacist sometimes a close second. I have been overly medicated more times than I'd like to admit so it is a very delicate balance. I've rarely heard of a doctor cutting out or reducing dosages (except at Mayo). I have anxiety which everyone feels is fueling my FND seizures so they work hard to keep anxiety in check. My PCP said my anxiety is almost more important than my seizures (except for hitting my head). He said anxiety can lead to many more issues. He told me it all gets down to a risk - benefit scenario and at my age of 61 he said he's more concerned about my heart than he is anything else.
