You are having a hard time I hope you will feel better soon, When you get to see the Doc ask him if any of them are reacting with the other Meds and the Prednisone, best to cut them back  slowly as you can have nasty withdrawal symptoms,you do need to ask the Doc who prescribed them and tell him all your concerns,as you have done here in your Post, before you do anything,speak to him on Monday.
