Is it ok to take lyrica (pregabalin) and neurontin? i use neurontin to help me sleep at night. won't take together just same day

Lyrica (pregabalin) and neurontin: Yes. These two are used same day by many practitioners. Be aware of sedation. And be aware of any changes in how you feel and report to your doc.

Strange combo: These are of a similar class so more typical to take one or the other. If you need it for more than just sleep than talk to your doctor about using just one to effect.

Not recommended: Lyrica (pregabalin) and Neurontin are anticonvulsant medications and have a very similar chemical structure. Moreover, there is no utility to use them together. Some clinicians very rarely combine them for Fibromyalgia. However, there is no literature to support that.

Avoid both for sleep: These medications will cause sleepiness but as a side effect. They can cause or worsen already existing sleep problems, not to mention affect your alertness while you are awake. If your problem falling asleep is due to pain, you will need better control of that during the day. Insomnia can result and sleep hygiene is the best way to help you sleep and may be combined with a safer sleep medication.
