Can I take Pregabalin and Ripinrole together?

Why this happens

Both medicines act on the central nervous system (the brain) to slow down certain signals. When used together, their sedative effects add up, making the overall impact on your alertness much stronger.

What you should do

Be very careful when starting this combination or changing your dose. Do not drive, cycle, or operate machinery until you know how these medicines affect you together. Avoid alcohol, as it will make the drowsiness even worse. If you feel excessively sleepy or struggle to stay awake during the day, speak to your doctor.
