No, gabapentin and Lexapro are not the same drug. Gabapentin is primarily used to treat nerve pain and seizures, while Lexapro (escitalopram) is an antidepressant used to treat anxiety and depression. They belong to different drug classes and have different mechanisms of action. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance regarding medications.
