Can I take 1mg and Pregabalin together?

Why this happens

Both medicines are 'central nervous system depressants'. This means they both slow down the brain and the body's messages. When used together, their effects add up, making the sedative and breathing-slowing effects much stronger than when taken alone.

You should only take these two medicines together if they have been specifically prescribed by the same doctor who is aware of both prescriptions. Do not drive, operate machinery, or drink any alcohol while taking this combination. If you feel unusually sleepy or have any difficulty breathing, seek medical help immediately.
