I'm on a med cocktail. Been on meds over 10 years now, hardly remember what my brain was like premeds. I have very mixed feelings about them. I tried to reduce one this past spring, because I don't like its side effects - they're manageable, I just don't like them. So I tried reducing the dose by .5 mg. I lasted 10 days, didn't have withdrawals but my mood got progressively worse. So at least I know the meds are doing something. My pdoc now says we can try weaning me off them in a couple of years if I manage to stay stable for that period.
