Brief Answer:
You can take them together, but be extra cautious whilst on them...

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I would like you to know that I am here to help. Yes, you can take vicodin and gabapentin together although there exists a chance for a few side effects due to the drugs interacting which can include:

Dizziness
Confusion
Difficulty concentrating
Drowsiness

Thus, I would only recommend you avoid the use of dangerous machinery, avoid driving a car, or handling anything that requires your 100% attention/concentration whilst you are under the effect of this drug combination.

I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you.

Regards,
Dr. Shoaib Khan, General & Family Physician
