How Gaba Gel works

Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Treatment of anxiety/depression is largely done with antidepressants like SSRIs. Benzodiazepines like clonazepam doesn't treat Anxiety or depression but gives symptomatic relief. Please discuss with your psychiatrist as I can't prescribe medicines unless I clinically assess you in OPD.
