Can I give my dog human pain medications? - Advanced Animal Care
There are some that you can give. Things like Gabapentin and Tramadol do cross over and are pretty similar, but the dosing is different. Again, you want to make sure you contact your vet before giving any medications.

Can I give my dog human pain medications and, if so, how do I know the dosage? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
I don't recommend that you give your dog any human pain medication without at least consulting us to see if it's okay. There are very few recommended things for a dog. Regarding dosing, your veterinary professional would have to help you with that, as they're all very different. Some of them are based on the age of the patient and their kidney and liver health, and so on.
