Can Latuda Be Taken Along With Paxil?

need to know if Latuda can be taken with paxil which was just lowerd from 40mg to 20mg and also taking Effexor 112mgs as well as Ativan and clonasapam and propropalnol for mdd ocd and high anxiety. the doctor says it will be ok but I not sure ,I did not feel well when I took 40mgs yesterday ,so I took only 20mgs today and felt ok. I have 2 phyciarists, and I am to take Latuda for 2weeks when I see if the latuda is working but its made for bi-polar which I do not have. so that is why I keep it at20mgs,and call the other doctor for a second opinion.

Ok, the combinations vary between the reasonable to the quite ridiculous.
Ativan and clonazepam are almost identical in action and are never used together. Paxil and effexor have similar actions, combination can cause serotonin syndrome are they are not generally used together.
Latuda is an anti-psychotic major tranquilizer that works differently from minor tranquilizers like ativan. It is often used for a brief windo of time with outer medicines and then dropped or continued if there is schizophrenia.
