Brief Answer:
See for blood pressure and sedation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney for your help.
It's not that these medicines can't be given all together, but usually we distribute them at different timings and start with lowest indicated dosage and gradually uptitrate.
If you are planning to take them all together, don't take with out consulting your doctor.
In case you have taken them already,
I would recommend you to keep a watch on your blood pressure as he if it reduces please go to ER.
Second common side effect seen in such cases ie excessive sedation.
So going for sleep now in presence of a family member is a good idea at this point of time.
Once you are fine, visit your Physician and discuss the timings.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query please ask me.

My BP normally runs 108/68. I do split all of these .
Effexor thyroid and macrobid 8am
Valium 9am and 9pm
Pain 10 am and 11pm
I forgot i also take dymista 9am and 9pm
So taking garcinia and forleskin is ok but monitor bp and drowsiness. I live alone.

Brief Answer:
You can take

Detailed Answer:
Hi, If your doctor has advised you this schedule and you are comfortable with the schedule, you can add Garcinia and Forleskin as they won't cause any disturbance to you along with the ongoing medicines.
These medicines are relatively safe to use.
Dymista is a local application spray that can be used along.
Good Luck.
