Depression, Gabapentin and Fluoxetine

2018-07-28 11:21:12
Weaning myself off Gabapentin prescribed for hot flushes. Previously on Citalopram which helped hot flushes and depression but caused stress incontinence. Gabapentin causes swollen fingers. Now very depressed, could Fluoxetine which is less likely to cause the stress incontinence, be taken while weaning myself off the Gabapentin?
