Both gabapentin and Lyrica have potential to affect breathing.

This link gives actual reported cases:

Lyrica:

A bit less reported under "respiratory" for Lyrica, compared to gabapentin. However, gabapentin is used in much higher doses, and that may be a factor.

There are patients who have discontinued either of these drugs due to depressed breathing.
