Could Taking Dothiapen For Depression Along With Alprim For Persistent UTI From Kidney Stones Be Overdose?

I have been prescribed alprim for persistent uti from kidney stones. I also suffer from major depression. My doctor won t listen to me. They are going to change my medication, but I have to wean off the one I am using and have used for 23 years. dothiapen . I am scared as it has been tried before and I was so bad, they decided it was to risky. I have a lot of medication of different sorts in my cupboard . What will happen to me if I overdose?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Dothiapen is a well tolerated drug. It should be taken, started-handled-stopped only by a medical practioner.
You should not be afraid of overdose, taking different drugs would not cause overdose but taking same drug in large amount can cause.
Your doctor knows the prescription limits so no reason to be afraid, just follow the doctor's orders!
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
