Why do I feel like this?????

I am 28 and I just recently had bloodwork done and had a physical and everything was normal. I take these 4 medications: Microgestin(birth control), Atenolol (25 mg) for high blood pressure, Luvox (250 mg) for OCD and Depression and Trazadone (because I can't sleep since taking the Luvox) Anyways, I've been taking these drugs for about six months now (meaning that is the time frame that the 4 have been taken together) and I recently have been feeling really "hung-over" in the mornings. All of my Dr.'s know what I take and I have never been told by any of them that they are not safe to take together. Does anyone know if a combo. of some of these are unsafe???? I left a message for my primary care Dr. and I'm waiting for a response. Why all of a sudden am I feeling like this? Thanks in advance.

Re: Why do I feel like this?????

Medications can build up in your system and your body can become sensitive to one or more of them.

Best to see what your doctor has to say about the combination.

Bloodpressure meds can cause you to feel lousy, not always, depends on the individual.

Taking something for depresssion and also something to help sleep may be too much downers at one time. This could account for the hungover feeling.

Thanks, I talked to the nurse already and she is going to talk to my Dr. She seemed to think that maybe I am on too high a dosage of Luvox. My psychiatrist must not think so.
