So, at the moment, do you think most of the benefit is coming from Remeron or something else?
It is very unusual to take Lyrica and Neurontin together, since these drugs have the same mechanism of action. Lyrica will probably displace Neurontin from receptors since it is more potent. I think it would be best just to take Lyrica on its own.
About the Zocor. Statins occasionally induce depression and other psychiatric disturbances eg. sleep disturbances, sexual disturbances and reduced memory function. These are not common side effects - it's just something to consider. Have you been on Zocor for a long time?
Out of curiosity, have you even been on trimipramine (Surmontil)? It's a rather unique tricyclic antidepressant because it doesn't inhibit the reuptake of serotonin or NE, but does potently block various serotonin receptors.
