Fluoxetine 20mg is enough for anxiety and depression, higher doses are used for OCD and related disorders. Your psychiatrist may given you lithium because of Bipolar or manic problems. Lithium stablizes the mood. Buspar may be given for treating Flouxetine induced sexual dysfunction. Xanax is used to treat anxiety but for only a few weeks. Longterm use of xanax is not advised. In my opinion you are taking too much drugs. If a psychiatrist gave you all these meds please find a better one. Do not stop taking these drugs before talking to the new psychiatrist.
Fluoxetine may not be the drug for you. Usually an SSRI manages both Depression and Anxiety. You have to try a different drug.

If you are under the care of a psychiatrist, and the meds are working, then I would say no.
In fact, if you alert enough to be concerned, I suspect those meds are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and, like many bipolar people, when you start feeling better, you don't want to credit the drugs with doing the job, you want to stop taking them. Then you spiral down and have to be treated yet again. Give your doctor some credit, trust that you are doing well because you are getting the meds you need and live life.

SSRIs can boost the outcomes on stimulants, so you might desire a decrease dose of Adderall while you're taking it alongside side Prozac that as quickly as you're taking it by making use of itself. there's a sturdy reason you desire a prescription for Prozac, and that i'd strongly propose against beginning taking it without first conversing on your ordinary practitioner. SSRIs would reason doubtlessly severe side outcomes, and can work together dangerously with different drugs, so that is important that their use is monitored by making use of a doctor. additionally, undergo in strategies that SSRIs take quite a few weeks to initiate working, and reason withdrawal outcomes in case you end taking them without warning. they are actually not something you could purely take for a week or 2 once you're feeling undesirable. you're able to take them regularly, and there is no factor in taking them in any respect while you're unlikely to take them for a least a pair months, because it may take in to 6 weeks for them to even initiate working. so which you will nonetheless could see your ordinary practitioner for a sparkling prescription in a month while the previous one runs out. you will do lots extra effective to chat on your ordinary practitioner now, and in case you wind up with the comparable dose of the comparable drugs as formerly, you need to use the previous prescription later, which will nonetheless shop you a pass to on your ordinary practitioner at that factor.

Can you function at all? I took xannax for a while because I was having panic attacks, I can't imagine mixing it with something else, but I'm no doctor.

How can I know my mind?
An alert mind is not a problem; an unaware mind is. The mind projects the future to be fulfilling but misses the beauty of the present. If you are rich, you want to be richer; if you are strong, you want to be stronger; if you are beautiful, you want to be more beautiful. Such a mind does not make you live life but leave life.
Such a mind creates false prayers. You make a ritual out of prayer and pretend to pray. Such prayer becomes an empty gesture.
Why am I so greedy?
There is a visible world and there is an invisible world. There is a visible self and an invisible self. The visible world is a world of diversity and the invisible world is a world of oneness.
If we live on the periphery we will feel incomplete but completeness is one’s nature. This incompleteness wants us to be a complete person. But the only track it knows is greed, wanting more. The enlightened masters give us not a dogma but a device to reach this state of completeness.
We should stop fooling around with life. Just thinking to be happy is not enough; just thinking to be wise is not enough. It is a luxury to think but it is wisdom to live. Ask yourself: Are you concerned with reality or fantasy?
There are two ways to know reality. If you want to know objective reality, then science is the way out. If you want to know subjective reality, turn to spirituality.
Why does one worry in life ?
Worry has become a habit for many. An inner energy that is not creative goes around in circles of worry. A creative person is one who, when he encounters a problem, is focused on the solution and is not a victim to the problem. Convert the problem into a springboard for possibilities.
A doctor does not cure illness but allows the healing process within to surface by giving it the right condition. So, too, the true healer exists within you. But you have to create the right condition. By looking at the mountain you can’t climb the mountain, you should will yourself to climb the mountain. Optimise this will for you to be above worry.
What should one do to be successful in life?
Ultimately what you need is self-confidence, mental toughness, commitment to excel and the ability to use the power of imagination.
What do you mean by self-confidence?
There are three pillars of self-confidence: Feeling good, taking responsibility and developing skills. There are both healthy ways and unhealthy ways of feeling good. You should develop the discipline to feel good in a healthy way. The quality of one’s life is the quality of one’s consistent feeling. There are techniques that are taught how to hold and maintain consistent feelings of empowerment within you.
How does one acquire clarity?
Clarity is acquired not by knowledge but by knowing. It is not a belief system; it is intelligence operating in the domain of freedom. The true meaning of renunciation is not renouncing the world but renouncing bondage. When bondage is renounced there is freedom, the most important thing. In freedom lies intelligence. It is not just discipline but true freedom. Freedom is not something devoid of order; it is a flowering of order

If you re functioning, no. Talk to a psychiatrist, not a regular GP, if you are concerned.

If you have concerns about this, you need to speak with your doctor. Let him/her know that you are concerned about taking all these meds.
Good Luck!!!
