I've recently decided to go off my meds cold turkey. I take 1200 mg of lithium and 10 mg of Saphris. My reasons are complicated, but basically I feel like these meds are doing more harm than good. I also take Klonopin, supposedly 1 mg 2x per day but lately it's more like 6x per day. I'm not going off the Klonopin just yet, as I think it will help me withdraw from the other meds.
I'm looking for stories of you going off meds -- how has it been for you? Any success stories? Horror stories? What should I expect? Thanks for your input.
