can I take benadryl and lyrica and gabapentin together
Yes it can. I have experienced severe drowsiness from Gabapentin and even worse from Lyrica which are, according to my doctor, in the same drug family.
Pregabalin goes by the brand name "Lyrica". It is similar to gabapentin or "neurontin" and is used for treatment of neuropathic pain, usually associated with fibromyalgia.
Gabapentin [or Neurontin ] and Lyrica are chemical cousins . Don't get your hopes up and make sure you read all the literature on side effects . Your doctor should have specified when s/he changed your meds. Call and ask. You do not need an appt. for this.
there is no comparison, a total different effect
Generally those 2 drugs are not prescribed together as long as they work on the same receptors. In some occasions, they can be taken together and 225 mg of lyrica (strong dose) is okay with 300 mg of gabapentin (which is a low dose)
Gabapentin is not a sulfa drug, therefore your reactions to sulfa would not be related if you experience an allergic reaction. And, yes. Gabapentin (Neurontin) does cause weight gain for a great many users. Pregabalin, (Lyrica) not so much. Ask your Dr. if it might be a fit for you.
Yes, lyrica and strattera can be taken together. It is a rather speedy combo if I do say so, the lyrica can produce a "rolling" effect. And the strattera enhances that quite a bit. I should know, I'm doing it right now :]
Any benzodiazepines, like clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), midazolam (Versed). Also GABA analogs like Gabapentin (Neurontin) and Pregabalin (Lyrica).
In short, no. Lyrica (which is basically the same as Gabapentin), is being used for nueropathic pain, but does NOT contain an opiate. Thus it is not a "pain killer" like vicoden (hydrocodone) or percocet (oxycodone). It will also take a while to build up in your system before you may see results.
It has analgesic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic and sleep-modulating activities and is indicated for treatment of epilepsy and neuropathic pain. However, it should be noted that gabapentin is not PBS reimbursed for neuropathic pain.
Yes, you can. There are no known negative interactions associated with taking Lyrica and ibuprofen together.
