S,
You wrote,[...I just don't know what to do...I'm desperate...I need something quick...any suggestions...]
The addition of the two drugs could cause confusion and also create another increase in the chances of heart failure and death. The impairment of your thinking that the additional drugs could cause, makes the probability of death even more likely in these two weeks that you need.
I question as to if one in the condition that you are in is competent to make your own decisions to make it the two weeks. This is because the drugs themselves can cause impaired thinking and gross confusion even to the point of committing suicide or adding a drug that you may have shelved years ago that could cause death. This is because the combination of these drugs can create an exponential effect to the point that one can have suicidal and/or homicidal thinking induced into them exacerbated by what you describe as shaking, which could be akathesia that can cause desperation. It is this state of desperation that you include here that can cause one to do things that they think will be OK, not knowing that they could be killed by doing it, such as driving while in this state.
I am prevented here by the prohibitions posted to me by Mr Hsiung to lead you out of the desperation that you describe.
Lou
