Too many medications mixed?
I have been seeing a very well known specialist for depression as well as for narcolepsy, but we have been having a difficult time finding the appropriate medication for me. We have been working on this for a long time, but the depression has been the major issue. I saw him yesterday and he altered my prescription once again. I am not on a combination of affexor and zolof for depression and Ritalin & alertec for the narcolepsy. Due to the stimulents he has also put me on an antipshycotic medication because I was having difficulties falling asleep when I wanted to. Is this normal? Family and friends are starting to think that he is putting me on too many medications. I do not know what to think because I trust my doctor, but it is becoming a little much. I did talk to my doctor about it and he explained how it was trial and error to find the right conbo of meds for my body, but should I really be taking all of these? What effect can this have on me in the future?
