Hi Mark, It is not too much and they are all not blood thinners. Only clopidogrel is a blood thinner. You don't have problems urinating now because you are on the medications but once you stop taking them you will most probably see a recurrence of your urinary symptoms. Please consult the doctor who knows your entire medical history before you decide to stop taking any of your medications. I hope this was helpful. I wish you good health. Take care :)
