I've already consulted my pdoc. His advice was to stay on my meds. Like I said we don't see eye to eye on this. He feels I need to be on antipsychostics for life and I think I'm lucky I even got him to agree to drop those, it took much much convincing on my part. Ive had this pdoc for about a year now. I don't trust him or his judgment, and he apparently doesn't trust mine. We have had plenty of incidents where we don't agree with my treatment, but I've been doing this a long time, and I know my body and brain pretty well.

It's just something I have to do to know for myself. I'm in a much different place than I've ever been in my life, and I really want to try it on my own. If anything goes starts to go badly I will go back on my meds. I've thought about this a lot. I'm going to take it really slowly and be cautious.
