Can you have acupuncture while on Nortryptolin and or Klonipin ?


She was recently psych hospitalized with Seratonin syndrome. She thought she was off psych drug Effexor XR long enough (two months) before she tried 5-htp but it wasn't and ended up with too much Seratonin. That was in October. From end of August thru October and had very high anxiety. She was put on Nortryptolin and Klonpin but still have anxiety and depression.
