Can Nortriptyline Be Taken While On Lyrica For Foot Pain?
I have been taking Nortriptyline for neuropathic pain in my feet. It didn t work well so no my Dr. gave me some Lyrica samples. Because I ve been on 50mg of Nortriptyline every night...I took half, 25 mg of nortriptyline to gradually phase that out, along with50 mg of Lyrica at bedtime...and together it helped with the pain. My question is...is it OK to take a small dose of Nortriptyline along with Lyrica? Or better to phase out the Nortriptyline and take only Lyrica for the feet pain?

Dear patient
Lyrica contain pregabalin 75 mg and it is prescribed for neuropathic pain. It can be combined with nortrypriline. Both act to increase pain release effect. In fact some combination of pregalin and nortrypriline is available in market like Norpregalin x. you can use this instead of two separate drugs.
