What should I do in my situation?

So as seen previously I was not in a very good state but I would like to let everyone know that I'm feeling better. At the moment I am suffering from trouble breathing, and increased heart rate, and possibly panic attacks. I put this in here in case anyone knows if these medicines have negative interactions, and if I'm possibly allergic to one of them.
List:
Prozac (fluoxetine)(100mg)
Lamotrigine (100mg, psychiatrist had me start at 25, and go up by 25 every two weeks until 100)
Other list:
thc cartridge (it has been tested so that's not the issue, I'm not sure if I'm allergic to it or if it has bad interaction between the three.)

Update: my mother thinks it is sleep apnea, however this issue only occurred after using.

Update 2: I went back to 75 on lamotrigine because it could be an allergic reaction of 100. Also benadryl seemed to open up my airways. Does anyone know how I can find out what I am allergic to?

Hi, I too am glad to hear that you feel like you are doing better emotionally. I'm wondering how you are dealing with your sleep apnea, are you using a cpap, or do you have some other strategy for it? I'm guessing you already know that sleep apnea is a serious disorder that needs to be addressed. My other question is, what is your psychiatrist's take on the questions you pose about your medications? If he is prescribing them then he should be available to discuss your issues with you. If he is not doing that, then that too needs to be addressed ASAP!

I'd just like to add that you are currently living through your teen years. In my case these were the most painful years of my life. One's emotions are all over the place and your feelings of self worth can be very negatively affected by certain things that get blown way out of proportion due to this imbalance. I just want you to know, and you may already understand this, that things do start to get better with time. As you get older your perspective changes and what tears you up inside now will be seen in a new and different light later. I have been through it, just as MANY people have. But it is definitely worse for some, and it sounds like you are one of those. Not sure me telling you this will be of any use to you but I guarantee it's all true. Hang in there!
Best to you, Hank
