Is there any utility in having a patient on Pregabalin and Gabapentin?
Yes, they are similar in class and name, but the mechanisms of action really aren't that well known, are they?
Do you ever add one to a patient that is on the other, specifically if they've tried and failed other adjuvants?
Other than cumulative sedative effects (which applies to almost every medication we prescribe) there are really any noted drug interactions that I'm aware off.
