I take Klonopin 1mg, Zoloft 150mg, Buspirone 15mg a day. Although they help very well, I am a bit worried how it will affect me in the long run when mixing these drugs. So far there's no side effects. Should I be concerned?

I wouldn't be concerned about those - the human body/mind is extremely resilient. I've done a lot of reading about this sort of thing and the only thing I know of that can do permanent damage is crystal meth. If they're helping you then stick with them :)

I agree. For example, many people are on multiple medications for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, etc. and they are fine.

Kirk, thanks for the reminder about that! I know people who take all kinds of drug combinations for various ailments.

Plasma, if you're concerned you can go talk to your pharmacist about it. They can reassure you if you're concerned.
My pharmacist is sometimes as helpful as my doctor!

Asking is an uncomfortable option, but I guess I should be fine. Thanks guys.
