Crazy Pristiq & Neurontin for TBI & Depression

I had a history of depression which is now major depression. My husband passed away one year ago. Was finally starting to recover from that but then I fell ( litterally landed on my face) had a fractured nose & wrist & oral injuries but no CT was done. Immediatlychad memory problems, stutteting and gait imbalance. Then less than 30 days I had a grand mal seizure with some more oral injuries but wax throughly checked out..(different hospital ). Conclusion was seizure due to undiagnosed TBI & medication combination (Wellbutrin & Adderal). Now on Pristiq 50mg & Neurontin (up to 900mg at night for sleep). Not much improvement...some days can't get out of bed...paying bills etc almost impossible most days. Saw psych dr today...was told to hang in there, let my brain rest & to see psycholgist....
Anyone heard of this combination ?
