Ann, I am happy that you feel you have found the best combination of drugs to work for you; however, my own experience with taking several types of drugs at a time was more like a horror movie. AT one point, my diagnosis was changed to schizo-affective as well. But it felt like ,, with every new side effect, another pill was added to the battery. At one point, I was on the same combination you mentioned. For example, I did not experience a manic stage until I was on anti-depressants. I learned later, that if your brain really doesn't need the anti-depressant, the anti-depressant can induce a manic state. I was on an anti-anxiety drug when it was the anti-psychotic causing the anxiety. All of these drugs are so dangerous and it can be difficult to understand what is really happening in our bodies. If it is all working for you, then I'm so happy for you! As they say, don't fix something that is not broken! Docs have wanted to change me to other drugs that have fewer side-effects, but after all I went through to find one that works, I don't want to change.
