I am usure about some things here. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. Have all of these drugs been prescribed by a doctor to take at the same time?
B. Are you aware of the great potential for addiction from the drugs?
C. Are you aware of the potential for {serotonin syndrome} to happen as from the combination?
D. Are you aware of the {central nervous system depression} aspect of the drugs?
E. Are you aware of the potential for the drugs to cause cancer?
F. Are you aware of the drugs having the potential to cause a mind-alterd state that could compel one to kill themselves and/or others?
G. Has your prescriber of these drugs, if there is one that prescribed for you to take them together, notified you of the potential consequences from the drugs?
H. Has that provider, if there is one telling you to take all the drugs together, ever offerd you an alternative?
K. Are you aware that just the withdrawal from xanax could be more than one could endure?
