Combining pregabalin and alcohol can pose serious health risks, even in small amounts. Pregabalin, a medication used to treat nerve pain, epilepsy, and anxiety disorders, acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to calm overactive nerves. Alcohol, a CNS depressant, has a similar sedative effect. When taken together, the interaction can amplify side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and impaired coordination. In severe cases, it may lead to respiratory depression or loss of consciousness. Medical experts strongly advise against consuming alcohol while taking pregabalin, as it can compromise treatment efficacy and increase the likelihood of accidents or overdose.
