I'm a little confused – Your initial question was about taking Lyrica and Zoloft together, but then when you went into more detail, you mentioned taking Lyrica and Prozac together. Although Zoloft and Prozac are both antidepressants in the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) family, so the answer to combining Lyrica with Zoloft or Lyrica with Prozac would be the same.
Both anticonvulsants like Lyrica and antidepressants like Zoloft or Prozac can be effective for pain. However, according to the the drug interaction guide, patients taking them together need to be monitored because taking them together increases the risk of central nervous system and/or respiratory depression. They really shouldn't be taken together unless prescribed that way by your doctor.
I don't know about financial help for dental needs, but there are a number of resources that may be able to help you with medical needs and prescriptions. Here is an article that lists quite a few of them: Uninsured or Underinsured? Where to Find Help
Good luck. I hope you're able to get relief soon.
