Q: mixing 3 meds

I take 3 1mg Klonopins a day and 1 20mg Celexa once a day, my doctor wants me to start mixing it with Zyprexa, he wants me to keep taking the Klonopins 3 times daily and mix the Klonopin with Celexa when I wake up in the morning. I wake up at 10:00 am and take my first dose then my 2nd at 4:00pm and the third at 10:00pm and I go to sleep around 11:30pm to 12:00pm and that is when I'm supposed to take the Zyprexa, only an hour and half to 2 hours after my third dose of Klonopin. I fear that is to short of time after taking a benzo. Can I do this? I'm afraid of mixing meds and taking this one so shortly after taking a benzo.

Mark,

 

I think the doctor knows what they are doing.  If you are unsure of the meds perscribed, talk to the dr. about your conserns, If you are not satisfied with the information then do some research to find a dr. to find a dr. that you feel comfortable talking to openly and honestly.
