As a rule, whenever a doctor suggests a new prescription, you should discuss what other medicines and other products you are already taking, in case the new medicine affects one of the other things, or vice versa. Sometimes the doctor may decide to prescribe something else or change the amount prescribed because of these interactions.

These precautions are usually not a concern with Lyrica, especially with other seizure medicines. Still, tt is always a good idea to double check with your doctor or pharmacist.
