Pregabalin Lorazepam

Pregabalin produced anxiolytic effects similar to lorazepam, alprazolam, and venlafaxine in acute trials. Sedation and dizziness were the most common adverse effects, and the dose should be tapered over 1 week upon discontinuation. 

Oxycodone/Lorazepam/Ethanol Multiple oral doses of pregabalin were coadministered with oxycodone, lorazepam, or ethanol. Although no pharmacokinetic interactions were seen, additive effects on cognitive and gross motor functioning were seen when pregabalin was coadministered with those drugs. 

There appears to be no pharmacokinetic interaction between pregabalin and carbamazepine, gabapentin, lamotrigine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, topiramate, valproate, alcohol, lorazepam, or oxycodone. However, the impairment of cognitive and gross motor function caused by oxycodone was additive with pregabalin, and pregabalin may potentiate the effects of alcohol and lorazepam. 

The manufacturer notes that there was no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interaction between pregabalin and lorazepam or alcohol, and that concurrent use caused no clinically important effect on respiration. However, they note that pregabalin may potentiate the effects of lorazepam and alcohol. ...
