well if you were educated in SSRI's then id take your word for it but NO ONE should be on 3 different types. If you knew about the dosages youd be retracting your statement too. Not only that but these drugs have not been tested by the FDA to be used together. THEY ARENT MEANT TO BE USED TOGETHER. SSRI's can work synergistically to increase a patients symptoms if not administered properly, now throw in 2 more variables of 2 other meds which werent tested. Now you TELL ME the dr's isnt to blame. Im not dismissing the fact he had a drug problem and continued to take other medications (pain killers, etc), however no dr should have been giving that amount of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

"Serotonin Syndrome (SS) is a serious side-effect usually resulting from interactions between multiple SSRIs taken in conjunction, or between an SSRI and an MAO inhibitor. SS results from the availability of too much serotonin in the brain, and can cause serious symptoms, such as seizures and hallucinations."
