No, they are not the same, but they are related.

You're actually talking about 2 different medications here, Gabapentin and Pregabalin.

The FDA classifies them both as anticonvulsants that are also used to treat certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. The typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
