Hello,
Yes, it's fine to take painkillers like paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and aspirin with pregabalin, assuming these are appropriate for you. Strong painkillers such as codeine and co-codamol and dihydrocodeine can make you feel more sleepy if taken in combination with pregabalin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
