From what I know, the two drugs together could cause death via heart disruption caused by the combination of the drugs acting on the heart. I base this on the chemical structure of the two drugs in combination that have shown death by acting on the heart in reports filed by agencies listing the cause of death.
My idea is for you to understand that you have a complex issue with the drugs that you are taking and it could not be as simple as dropping one drug or reducing the dose. This is because of your history here in taking mind-altering chemicals, that psychiatrists call medicines, that over time can induce great changes in the brain as to how the brain can be altered by taking these drugs over time that change how the brain reacts to these chemicals.
Stopping, starting a new dose or initiating new chemicals could have tragic consequences and cause death. And death could come accidentally from the drugs as that you see that your ability to coordinate movement is disrupted. Reasoning could also be impaired to think that you could do things safely that could cause death.
I do know of a way for you to escape the situation that you are in but I am prevented from posting such here due to the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung. And if others here post to you their ideas as to what you could do that could contradict me, don't forget whose mind its coming from and whose death it could be, so Sheilic, save the last post for me.
