Be advised, that the drugs that you are taking could cause death via serotonin syndrome or liver failure or because they could impair your thinking to where you could not know what to do and your judgment could be such as to cause your death by impaired judgment. This is all because when you take multiple psychiatric drugs, the adverse effects can be increased exponentially.
I am prevented here from posting what IMHO could help you to avoid a life-ruining condition or addiction or death due to the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung. But you could ask your provider to register here and have dialog with me here. Then I could possibly develop what I need to tell you though the provider's dialog with me here.
