Some of us do well on drug combinations; unfortunately, I am not one of them. I have serious problems with almost all drug interactions, not just psychotropic drugs. This is probably due to genetic polymorphisms of the liver enzymes that metabolize these medications. Some people can become deathly ill on medication combos that don't bother others, and unfortunately, there are still many doctors out there that are unaware of the importance of learning about the potential dangers of drug interactions.

> BekkaYou are right on both counts. I feel absolutely terrible and dare not take any more meds. I also would hate to hear of someone else suffering in the way that I have due to some irresponsible quack! For people who are truly resistant to conventional treatment I am sure that combining meds can be a life saver, but for me it has wrecked my life.
