Brief Answer:
Yes you can take but avoid or decrease alcohol if you drink.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to H.C.M.

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I see similar cases amongst people who visit my clinic.

Gabapentin has good effect for headache with history of seizure so I will suggest you for Gabapentin if you have severe headache.

Flexiril together with Gabapentin slightly increases side effects such as dizziness,
drowsiness and difficulty concentrating but its common in newly diagnosed patient of seizure.

Please discuss regarding the headache and the medications you wish to take with your treating doctor.

You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications.

Maintain a 30 minutes interval between these drugs.


Thanks.

Hope this answers your question.
If you have any query then please do not hesitate.
I will be happy to answer your questions.
