I started my taper at a hospital (a trauma treatment center where they respected my wish to come off everything). Depending on the meds and your reactions to them/no longer taking them, you may want to have an MD/prescriber within easy reach (like speed-dial). The first taper they tried made me feel horrible, and some of the withdrawal effects could have been really dangerous (and gone unnoticed) had I not been around people who were constantly paying attention to what was going on. I ended up having to taper one of the newer meds they had put me on for longer than I had originally been on the med before I decided to stop it.
It's something to try if you think it will help. I know I handle things much better off meds than on (it's scary to remember how poorly I was able to cope while on meds compared to how I cope now. Though things are still very difficult at times, I find I have an easier time being rational). I'm sure it's not the same for everyone, so please be careful when you do it, and good luck!
