Can I take 15 and Gabapentin amarox together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and gabapentin are 'central nervous system depressants'. This means they both slow down brain activity. When taken together, they 'double up' on this effect, making the sedative impact much stronger than if you took either one alone.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking gabapentin. Because gabapentin stays in your system for some time, you should not drink alcohol even if you skip a dose. If you feel unusually sleepy or have trouble breathing, seek medical help immediately. Do not drive or operate machinery if you have consumed any alcohol with this medication.
