Hang in there ... I understand because I'm on many meds too (none of what you're on) and I can't stand it. I feel like someone on here once referred to as a "walking drug store". I tried to get off one (with help of pdoc) and after a few days without it needed it back. I'm going to try to wean off another one in a few weeks when I see my pdoc again.
I would suggest that when you see your pdoc you go over EACH med you're on and WHY you are supposed to be on it. Also tell your pdoc exactly how you are feeling and could there be any kind of interaction among the different meds - one or more making another go to higher levels or something that would then cause bothersome symptoms. When they mix these meds, it can sometimes lead to a mess. They've got to know what they're doing with these cocktails.
Don't give up - Good luck 2 U.
