Brief Answer:
Can cause excessive sedation

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
As such taking Gabapentin with Amitryprilline is not contraindicated. In fact in many cases we use both of them together.
If your doctor has suggested you, you can take both of them at one time in night but just beware as it can cause excessive sedation

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
