| I am on 80 mg of prozac as well as 100 mg of neurontin 3x day. In addition I usually drink one cup of coffee and one or 2 energy drinks; can that cause seretonin syndrome and reverse the effects of my medication and not make my medication work? And make my anxiety worse? |

| I went to the dermatologist and they diagnosed me with allodynia. So, they gave me neurontin to help with the pain and to keep putting this moisturizing cream on. Would it be bad if I only tried the medication and slowly laid off the moisturizer? |

| Thank you. I don't why it gets me so frustrated and upset. Maybe because it feels like she doesn't believe in me or have the confidence in me. And I want to feel independent and like I can do stuff on my own driving wise without needing someone else with me. There's so many things like graduating co... |
