Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Several risks: Several risky interactions exist in your mixture of medications. I doubt that increasing dosage of any is a good idea - especially w/o an expert evaluation of your conditions and needs. See a specialist ASAP. Don't play guessing games. Take care of yourself. Best wishes.
