As such on this dose of both medications, there is no interaction between these two medications and no side effects associated. If you feel more sedation during day time, you should consult your psychiatrist and medications dose will be optimised.

Hello, Thankyou for reaching out! The combination of escitalopram 5 mg and pregabalin 75 mg at bedtime is often used in clinical practice, particularly in cases of generalized anxiety disorder, comorbid depressive symptoms, or neuropathic pain with sleep disturbance. While both agents have sedative properties, their concurrent use at a low dose is typically well tolerated.
Next Steps
1. Take at bedtime as prescribed to minimize daytime sedation. 2. Avoid alcohol and driving or operating machinery until you know how the combination affects you. 3. Monitor for excessive drowsiness or confusion, especially in the initial days.
Health Tips
Follow up with a Psychiatrist regularly to assess tolerability and therapeutic response. Dose adjustments may be considered based on symptom control and side effects.
