They don't seem to do anything except cause horrible side effects.
All the shrinks do is add more and more.

If you stopped your meds, how did you do it?
When I tried to stop my meds, I did it the stupid way (i.e. without doctor knowledge and cold turkey). DON'T DO THAT. You think your side effects are bad? Your brain and your body will start doing horrible things if you quit cold turkey. I had to go back on them within only a few days to quash the really bad withdrawal.
