¿Puedo tomar Mirtazapina y Pregabalina juntos?

Por qué sucede esto

Both medicines work by slowing down activity in the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). When taken together, their sedative effects add up, leading to a stronger effect than either drug would have on its own.

Lo que deberías hacer

Use this combination with caution. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how these medicines affect you. Do not drink alcohol while taking these, as it will make the sleepiness much worse. If you feel extremely drowsy or have trouble breathing, contact your doctor immediately.

Precauciones importantes

Pensamientos suicidas y autolesiones

Antidepressants and medicines for nerve pain can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or self-harm, particularly when first starting treatment or changing doses. Monitor your mood closely and seek urgent medical help if you experience any distressing thoughts.

Dependencia y adicción a las drogas

Pregabalin is a controlled drug because it carries a risk of dependence and addiction. You must only take the dose prescribed and should not stop taking it suddenly, as this can cause severe withdrawal symptoms.

Síndrome de serotonina

When taken with other serotonergic medicines, mirtazapine can cause a life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience high fever, agitation, shivering, or severe muscle twitching.

Agranulocitosis (bajos glóbulos blancos)

La mirtazapina puede causar rara vez una caída grave en los glóbulos blancos. Debe contactar a un médico de inmediato si desarrolla signos de infección, como fiebre alta, dolor de garganta severo o úlceras en la boca.

Advertencias sobre alimentos y bebidas

Alcohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. Both mirtazapine and pregabalin cause drowsiness and dizziness; alcohol significantly increases these effects, which can lead to dangerous levels of sedation, impaired coordination, and an increased risk of falls or accidents. Combining them also increases the risk of respiratory depression (slowed breathing).

Cafeína (Café, Té, Bebidas Energéticas)

Mirtazapine is often prescribed to help with sleep and anxiety. Caffeine is a stimulant that can counteract the sedative effects of mirtazapine, potentially making your treatment less effective or increasing feelings of restlessness and anxiety.
