Food supplements are not medicines or drugs
Depend on the chemical components because many of them have a chemical component that we don't know about.

This may be true. There is no regulation on vitamins and food supplement right now, and therfore no real way to be sure if 1000 mgs of vitamin C is really 1000mgs and what else might be in it. Although I would need a permit from the health dept. to sell home made cookies, If I made lemon drop cookies, I could call them vitamin C drops, and sell them without a permit!

I only buy my vitamins and food supplements from a trusted source, whatever that is....

I seem to sense OP, that you have an agenda.
No, I don't have an agenda,just asking a question,and you don't need a medical profession to open a thread.

I have been through this for chronic pain as well and the titration is hard but very doable. Take as much time as your doctor deems suitable and do not rush it if it is not necassary in the doc's eyes. Insomnia is the worst part of the kick, at least for the bulk of people. It is hard to quantify chronic pain to people who have never suffered it. My point is.....do not come down on yourself for needing relief.

As to the OP, contrindication of multiple medications can cause issues outside the scope of the disease that is being treated, but it should be taken on a case per case basis by a doctor that is overseeing the treatment. Often times, people who are in need of multiple scripts may see multiple specialists for each specific condition and they may not disclose all the facts to each doctor. Ie; disclosing the use of herbal remedies to one and not another and the prescribed drugs may not contraindicate one another, but when mixed with an over the counter supplement, they may. I have also read alot of drug studies that may look promising on the surface but when you look into who funded the study, the info seems convoluted. I guess what I am saying is....We are all smart enough to educate ourselves and look into the info available on what we are ingesting and what the benefits are, weighed against the cons. If you are a patient still of sound mind.....use your analytical abilities to reason out if your doc is full of s### and educate yourself on what you deem is worth the risk. So if you have anxiety and you know that common anxiolytics cause drowsiness and you or not ok with that.....seek other alternatives that are ok with you. If it is ok with another, than it is their choice to use the prescribed treatment and none of our business to say what makes their life bareable.
