I would think it overkill to have such a large variety of medications which all have similar effects. Sometimes this is derived by layering meds, in other words keep on adding another dose of something different till the symptoms improve. Sometimes this can work but I think with so many it is probably one or two of them that are doing most of the work. In order to find out which ones he still needs, one at a time would have to be discontinued. This might be difficult (but not impossible) because a dosage of a single one might have to be increased to fill in for the lack of another.
A second medical opinion would be a good idea.
