I am so happy to hear that you are doing so well Sam!

I applaud your positive attitude and your efforts to stay active I'm so glad that you are able to deal with your symptoms better now, are setting goals and are determined to enjoy a normal life again. You have really come a long way in a short period of time. I am so proud of you, and couldn't be happier for you!

There's a chance that med issue was overlooked because you have two prescribers. The possible interaction between these drugs is considered "moderate" not "severe" and also may be uncommon, and that may be why it didn't raise alarm bells at the pharmacy. Your pharmacist can confirm that there is a possible interaction, but you should discuss the significance of it with your doctor. If your MD thinks the benefits outweigh the risks, he/she may order blood tests to monitor you if it's even necessary. Ultimately, you make the choice to take meds or not based upon discussions with your doctor. I wouldn't worry until you have that discussion.
