I think your best bet is to ask your pharmacist they know about drug interactions more so than some of the doctors

I was a nurse and NEVER gave both at once! They both lower your seizure threshold
2nd opinion for sure! Mine is NO, don’t take both at once

I asked my dr. at the pain clinic about switching from gabapentin straight back to Lyrica and they said that I would have to taper off one to start the other. I haven't changed yet because my last taper went badly. I read about people that do it and that take both at the same time by dr.s orders, but I guess it depends on the dr. I would be nervous about taking them at the same time. A second opinion might be good. I have had dr.s lead me the wrong way before.

Kinda stupid as they are both pregabalin... avoid lyrica and use other methods of treating pain. Diet, stress management, physio/massage, pain acceptance.. There's so much we can do that is not pharmaceutical. Turmeric is amazing.

I am not sure why he would do that, seeing how they are the same. Gabepintien is called poormans Lyrica. There are so many side effects with both.
