Can Lexapro, Abilify, Trazadone, Mirtazapine, And Melatonin Be Taken Together?

The daughter of a friend of mine has been using alcohol excessively. She was jailed for almost a month, and is currently in a nursing home which she is due to be released from very shortly. She is 74 years old. The medications she is currently on are Lexapro, Abilify, Trarazadone, Mirtazapine, and melatonin. I have looked one line, and it seems that all of these drugs treat depression and anxiety. I do don t know the dosage of any of these medications, but I am wondering if it is safe to take all these drugs, or if there is another problem.
