Well, you know I'm not going to ask for your sources -- I am going to ask, though, something related:
Does your doctor know about all the different medications you're currently taking? And that you self-prescribe and order online?
It seems to me that those are very relevant facts for your psychopharmacologist to be aware of. He's much more likely to catch potential interactions if he actually knows that you're taking another medication. What's more, he may know more about certain medications than you do -- for instance, he may be aware that something occasionally causes increased depression in some people, or that mixing these three medications can cause a volcanic response. I think it would be good to let him know, if he isn't already aware of it.
Best luck.
