Brief Answer:
Will require list of side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:

1. Yes, it appears to be too many medications.
2. However, each has a definite indication, except overlapping effect of Streamline (? sertraline), Gabapentin and Trazodone.
3. Atorvastatin is for improving lipid profile, digoxin to improve cardiac function, apixaban to reduce further thrombotic events risk and Lansoprazole to reduce acidity secondary to these medications.
4. Not sure about the reason for paracetamol/dehydrated. It is usually for pain or fever and never continued on a long-term basis. If there is no indication, this is one medication, you can stop immediately. Others I will require more details.

Please do let me know about the side effects you are having and also when these medications, specifically, Streamline (? sertraline), Gabapentin and Trazodone were prescribed. Also, do confirm the composition of Streamline 50 mg.

Hope it helps.
Do get back with more details, so I can be of help.
