Taking Multiple Caps. Can Any Online Doctor Help?

Hi, my name is Lionel and right now I have a little dilemma about my medication. I am currently on risperidone 2 mg tablet, Risperidone Consta 25 mg injection , Risperidone Consta 50 mg injection, Lithium Carbonate 300 mg Capsule, Sertraline 100 mg Capsule, Sertraline 25 mg Capsule, and Benztropine 1 mg Tablet. I know what these medications are for, but my doctor wants to put me on clozapine. I told him I ll take it if he takes me off all the other medications. Is this a smart Idea?

wonder why many drugs been prescribed or you mean to say off and on all mentioned drugs been prescribed from time to time?.At a time 2-3 drugs at the most work well depending on severity of illness and definitive indication and I'm sure your doctor has prescribed suiting your requirement and if adding clozapine is necessary do not think on your own of getting off other medicines as it may harm you.trust your doctor unless you have some distressing effects for which you have to report back to your doctor.
