Back up and start over.  PRODRG topologies (especially for a molecule as complex 
as yours) are generally of very poor quality.  Garbage in, garbage out.  Even if 
you manage to get the simulations running I wouldn't necessarily trust the 
outcome.  Please see the paper linked from:

http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Related_Software/PRODRG#Tips

You may want to re-think the force field entirely.  Gromos96 parameter sets are 
not particularly versatile when it comes to the types of functional groups that 
can be described, making correct topology generation somewhat difficult for most 
drug molecules.
