Can I take 15 and Pregabalin together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and pregabalin are central nervous system depressants. This means they both slow down brain activity. When taken together, their effects add up (a synergistic effect), leading to much stronger sedation and impairment than either would cause on its own.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking pregabalin. Because this combination can make you very sleepy and unsteady, you should not drive, use tools, or operate machinery if you have consumed any alcohol. If you feel unusually drowsy or have difficulty breathing, seek medical help immediately.
