Brief Answer:
Due to drug interactions

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is serious interactions between the medications you are taking..
Using buspar together with lexapro can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, which may present with some or all of the following symptoms: confusion, hallucination, seizure, flactuation in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Also the combination of lamictal and depakote may cause skin rash, restlessness, seizures, tremors, muscle weakness, and staggering walk. I would recommend that you refer to your doctor to prescribe different medications that don't have such major interactions together . I hope I answered your question..
