Accidentally Taken Gabapentin And Lyrica Together. Have Pain In Hands, Legs. Difficulty Walking. Okay?

Hi Dr. Sam. Is it ok that I accidentally took 600mg's of gabapentin , and 50mg's of Lyrica together.. I am in excruciating pain!! in both hands, radiating down my legs, into both feet along with tingling and numbness in my hands, and both feet. I can barely walk, my leg's and ankle's are swollen and have a bruising red/blue color to them. I see my primary Dr.. today. I also take 60mg.s of Oxycontin 3x a day, with 15mg tab of Morphine Sulfate IR, and Etodolac 300 mg. I take those for severe chronic nerve back pain. Thank you. Mary

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Gabpentine & pregabalin are used in nervitis or peripheral neuropathy.
Since , you have not mentioned , why are you using these drugs.
Swollen legs, red coloration, with tingling sensation, pain is also both hands?
You haven't mentioned the cause of this pain.
Most pain killers can decrease pain ,but not curative.
So please upload the reports and there after any diagnosis is possible.
Good luck.
