Is it safe to have Botox while taking medication?

Laul15
Hi there, is it safe to have Botox whilst taking medication? I currently take 100mg once a day of amitriptyline and take 300 x 3 a day of gabapentin. I take these due to facial nerve pain, but hate the 11s on my forehead. If I can't use Botox whilst taking these meds is it ok to maybe have filler there instead? Thank you
