A member asked:
Is adding 10mg elavil to 300mg lyrica unsafe for a person with cabg/mi for postherpetic neuralgia ? at 300mg there is moderate pain control
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are no interactions between Elavil and Lyrica. Also, at 10mg the side effects are very low. Actually it helps reduce pain by aiding sleep and reduces the afferent pain pathway.
