Hi all,

The title says it all. The more I think about it, the more I feel like my true self is being hidden and masked by the meds I'm on, and I'd like to stop them. The impulsive part of me wants to stop cold turkey, but I know that's just not safe. Plus, I've tried it before and was unable to due to severe side effecs. Here's what I'm currently taking:

Seroquel XR - 350mg at night
Zoloft - 200mg in the morning
Lamictal - 100mg 2x/day
Tegretol - 200mg 2x/day

Actually, I can't stop the tegretol because I have Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. But the rest...I'd like to stop.

I am supposed to get a call on Monday from my pdoc's secretary about his opinion on me going off Seroquel XR (it's the first one I want to stop...if anyone else has taken it, they'll understand why). I hope he's on board. And then I'd like to taper off the other medications as well.

But for some reason, I just really want to stop them all NOW. And see who I am beneath all these pills. I feel like my very being is poisoned by these drugs.
