It is OK: There is no interaction and it is a good combo for neuropathic pain management for a long period of time. It is very important to follow your doctor's dosing instructions exactly. Your doctor may gradually increase your dose so your body can get used to the new medication and minimize possible side effects. Do not self medicate.
