Brief Answer:
Please, what are you taking these drugs for?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These drugs are too many an treating the same condition. I will like to know why you are taking all of these medications. Nystatin/fluconazole/miconazole are all antifungals and this sounds like a cocktail that has no real direction. If they were prescribed by a physician, Am not sure of what he's doing.

Let me understand the reasons before we talk on which to continue with and for what reasons.

I hope to hear from you. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Please, talk to your doctor about this!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will not advise that you go on with several drugs which to me seems totally unjustified. My suggestion is that you talk to your doctor to eliminate some of these drugs. Let him use one at a time and only combine if he has strong reasons for doing so.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
