Can I drink alcohol with Lyrica (Pregabalin)?

33-year-old woman5 years ago

Is it possible to have a few drinks (1 or 2 occasionally) while taking Lyrica 50mg twice a day? If so, should I skip a dose of Lyrica? Diagnoses : Ankylosing Spondylitis and Fibromyalgia

Hello, the interaction between alcohol and Pregabalin results mainly in additive drowsiness. If you tolerate Pregabalin well, I see no restriction to consume some alcohol in moderation. Don't skip doses, even if you do drink alcohol. Can I do anything else for you today? Laurie Hudon-Germain, pharmacist
