Hi,
Of the medicines you are taking, serenace and chlorpromazine are antipsychotics while nitrosun is for sleep. The combination is ok for your diagnosis if you are comfortable with it. These days, serenace and chlorpromazine are not preferred much as there are other medicines like olanzapine, risperidone etc which are effective as well as have a better side effect profile. If you are not having any major side effects with this combination and it is working for you, then you need not worry.
Best wishes.
