I dont get my pill pusher. He keeps adding things. I am on Zoloft 50mg, effexor 300 mg, and neurontin 900 mg. Will this help ?

Hi...Are you using this meds for depression, or any other reason?

Hi...
Ok. Then it´s an good combo. You can raise the effexor upp to 300 - 450 mg. There is a very minimal risk for serotonin syndrom.
Make sure that you get full benefit from your meds. All symptom must disappear. keep that in mind.
Best Wishes...//Petters

Hi,
Sounds to me like you are on too many drugs at once. perhaps you should find another doctor ??maybe you could just take one of the anti depressants and take something like Lorazepam for the anger and sleep etc.
Good Luck

This idea of "too many" drugs is just that, an idea.
What's important is what they are, and how much, and why. Usually Effexor and Neurontin are enough, but Zoloft is very mellowing, I can see why he might add that. Do you have the gut feeling he's groping, he doesn't know what he's doing--or that you might feel better if you read up on these meds and got a sense for yourself?
Good luck,
Zo
