Your psych med list is even longer than mine. Maybe your new pdoc will consider eliminating a couple. I wonder sometimes what would happen if I chucked one or two of mine....but then I remember how awful it was when I tried to cut out Celexa, and how nice things are now on my current regimen. As a doctor friend put it, I'm on five meds because four were not enough. I would like to get off one of the anti-psychotics though, I've already got fine tremors and have read that long-term use of multiple APs can cause other problems as well. But I won't do it without medical supervision.
