I have been taking 30mg mirtazapine as a sleep aid and today I was prescribed neurontin 300mg. I was told to take the neurontin at night so I am wondering if I can take the two medications together
Can I take neurontin and mirtazapine together?

I take both if these drugs together and make out well except for increased effects of both towards the drowsiness end. Mirtazapine I just take at night. I wouldn't want to get behind the wheel of a car, though.

mo1986; as you seen there is a moderate drug interaction so you could check with the doctor lots of time these are taken together but they well seperate the time of day to help with the side effects of taking both at the same time. Good luck.any more concerns give your doctor a call.
