Is it safe to take Ashwagandha with Gabapentin?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I take Gabapentin along with Lexapro for anxiety.  Still having symptoms, I started taking Ashwagandha root.  It works great but I was wondering if it's safe to take together.  I call my pharmacist who said he did not know.

    Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe. I have no idea what this is but if you're taking prescription meds you need to be VERY careful. Try another pharmacist or your doctor. You can even Google it yourself.
