I just checked it out, I'd say only take the Fluanxol if you are confident in your doctor and confident that he knows the other medications you are on. Otherwise, I would say maybe call a pharmacist and ask them if they know if it's safe and/or maybe try and contact the doctor again just to make sure.

By the looks of it, the main concern is over heart-rate so I imagine that if there is an interaction between the two medications that it probably wont be fatal and tbh you'd probably be fine but when we are talking about medications and health we don't really want to deal in probably. You've survived this long without the Fluanxol and it probably wont take effect immediately anyway so might be best to hold of on starting it until you are sure it is safe. Good luck! Hope things are calming down for you :)

Blunderbuss’ advice is excellent and I second all of it.

yea definitely touch base with a pharmacist or primary doc, just express your concern and if anything you should watch out for and such. Good vibes and good luck.
