Well, I have looked at what you are taking and assume that those drugs have been prescribed to you to all be taken together.
Being that the case, I see the great potential of the combination of the drugs leading to a life-ruining condiition or death. This makes me wonder why a prescriber, if a psychiatrist/doctor, would tell you to take such. You see, the combination potentiates the risk of neurotoxcicity and psychotic symptoms. Also a condition called {serotonin syndrome} could result that could kill you.
The combination of the drugs could supress the CNS including breathing. There is also the possibility of having a heart atck that could kill you.
Now there is also the possibility that the drugs could cause you to go into a mind-altered sate to want to kill yourself and/or others.
Now those are my thoghts when I see what you listed here that you are taking.
Here is a link to a post here that has a link to a site listing those hat killed themselve and/or others and other crimes while on psychotropic drugs. You could click on top when the site comes up on the red {drugs}. Then the drugs will be in order and you can look at the drug that is prescribed to you and see what happened while those people were taking that drug.
