It sucks to feel dependent on meds. I hate it some times. But I have quit cold turkey myself twice in the past 6 years (that's how long I've been seeking help) and both times were terrible. I felt happy about it at first, but then things spiraled out of control in a terrible way both times. I mean like hospitalization bad (though I've never been able to go to the hosp as I don't have insurance and cannot afford it out of pocket). I know it is hard, but really 7 months of med changes isn't abnormal. I'm on my 6th year of meds and I'm still going through changes.

But I do understand. The only thing I would suggest is to go off the meds with the supervision of your pdoc. I guarantee you will feel way better that way and its safer.
