At the outset, it should be noted that the drugs mentioned in the question: Tramabian and Gabapentin are prescription, so the legitimacy and need to combine them in therapy should be determined by a doctor. Combining Tramabian and Gabapentin is possible, but should be carefully monitored by your doctor. Both drugs have an analgesic effect, but they act on different mechanisms in the body.
Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug that works primarily by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of calcium channels, which affects the transmission of pain and can be used to treat neuropathic pain.

Tramabian (Polish trade name, e.g. Doreta) is an analgesic drug containing tramadol (an opioid analgesic) and paracetamol. Tramabate acts mainly on opioid receptors in the brain and also affects the uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine.

The concomitant use of these two medications may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, as well as the risk of respiratory depression. It is also possible to reduce the concentration of paracetamol due to the increase in its metabolism and increase the concentration of its hepatotoxic metabolite. Therefore, it is important that your doctor adjusts the dosage and monitors you for possible side effects.
If you have any further doubts or problems, it is always advisable to consult your doctor for individual advice. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
