Some people: dealing w/nerve pain take 1200 mg daily of a natural supplement called Alpha Lipoic Acid. Check w/your doc to see if he/she thinks that's ok for you. Peace and good health.

Most likely.: While federal regulations prohibit me from recommending the use of schedule I medications such as cannabis I can tell you that there is overwhelmingly scant evidence that its consumption with the drugs that you listed would be risky. That said IF you were to consume it any option other than burning it to ingest it would be preferable: i.e. consider an edible, atomized or nebulized form.
