It’s my opinion that too much medicine can cause physical medical problems. Doctors need to stop one or two meds and have a waiting time before introducing another med. this adding and adding meds is wrong. Just too many interactions that are unknown.

Yep, that's where I am. When I first got out of the hospital after having that psychotic break was the beginning of being put on tons of meds and the np I had on like the 4th visit basically forced me on the lorazapam to begin with. She said if I didn't comply I would be put as being non-compliance. She just kept adding more and more meds. I was brand new at it. And my family was like you need to listen to her. She completely screwed my life up. It was called being on a cocktail.
