Thoughts on this medication combination?
Hello! I (19F) have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder since late 2023, and a friend, along with some family members, has expressed concern about the amount of medication I currently take daily (See below). Can I ask if anyone has had any bad experience taking the same medications/combinations as mine? I'm willing to answer any questions in the comments if ever. Thank you!
