Hello, I Have Been Taking Pristiq 200 Mgs Daily For

Hello, I have been taking pristiq 200 mgs daily for two years. Now, because my depression worsened doctor has prescribed 300mgs wellbutrin Xl, starting with 150 mgs and increased until reaching 300mgs.

His goal is to combine 200mgs of pristiq +300mgs of wellbutrin Xl. Also I take clonazepam 4 mgs dayli.

I have chronic depression and high anxiety disorders. Have been a patient for 20 years.

Is it safe to combine this three medications? Is it safe to use that high doses on wellbutrin and pristiq?

My doctor refuses to reduce pristiq dose.

Please, I will be very grateful with your answer.
