I would tend to agree with you. There is little evidence that there is meaningful improvement beyond 3 medications. That doesn't mean more won't help, but the data does not support it.
I see some peoples' lists of (like you say) multiple mood stabilizers, antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants all at once. Its likely counterproductive.
The neuron can only do two things - fire or don't fire. A kazillion medications is not going to help the brain better make those decisions.
