Mainly metformin is used for diabetes-2 patients, if that is a diagnosis. Weight loss is one claim but not a definite.

People do have very complicated lists if they're on polypharmacy and I would only have one if I were in the hands of a psychopharmacologist (basically a psychiatrist with more residency and specialty) or at least a psychiatrist who has taken extended courses.
Your combination is probably the only one in the world, just as mine is, and just as anyone who has polypharmacy on this board, so its hard to say "what to remove".
A better way of being sure of things if you are really concerned is getting a second consultation/opinion (not a second doctor) to go over your symptoms and list (your doctor would probably fax over some small list of things tried and various things about your history to whatever extent necessary).
