Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Recommended: and used in many chronic pain disorders. There is no problem in taking those drugs together and often recommended. They work on separate nerve receptors and do not affect each other. However, always ask your doctor for more information about your individual situation and always present your current drug list.
