> Hi there, I thought I would shoot this question out to see if anyone has any insights or thoughts about my medications. I have OCD, panic attacks, and GAD, and over the past year, quite a few things have been patched together to treat it. I take the following
> Prozac 10 MGs
> Klonopin .5 MGs once a day
> NAC (supplement) 600 MG twice a day
> Neurontin 100 MGs twice a day
> Topamax 15 MGs twice a day

We talked about things today, and she would like me to move forward with upping my prozac. I am happy to do this, but am concerned that I am not addressing a potential issue of having a med combo that disagrees with me, when perhaps just stopping or stepping down a bit from one of the meds would help.

You wrote,[...if anyone has any insights..no med horror stories, though...]
I have read your post and could offer a way that you could be freed from the agitation, anxiety and restlessness. However, your request to not include horror stories prevents me from posting about that to you. If at some time that you withdraw your request, please post that and I could then offer you information that I think could be of value to you to help you overcome your agitation, anxiety and restlessness.
