I had a second opinion at the university hospital with a renown depression-specialized psychiatrist two weeks ago and she suggested I quit all my psych meds in order to find out what's me/my problem and what's side effect. I'm presently tapering off VERY slowly (25% decrease in respectively 3 and 4 weeks) of 1 antipsychotic (I'm taking 2) and the antidepressant I'm on.

So you're not the only one who thinks side effects are counteracting.
