No big prob: See no significant risks for interactions. The drugs you were given for the most part are for anxiety.

As above : All medication can have side effect , but we take them when we need them. Medication that r written by u prescriber it make more sense to ask him /her about the safety issues . That way u show them u trust and appreciation . I am not aware of any drug interaction among these medication . However, people reaction can vary. If u notice any adverse event talk with u prescriber.

It's best to discuss all your meds and supplements with your Psychiatrist who is prescribing your drugs. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help you with your anxiety.
