Hi Crook32,
Sometimes the side effects of some of the older meds can slow your thinking and make you feel unwell generally, but if they really help, then it's worth the side effects. Other meds might not have the same side effects.
If you feel that you're really better without them , discuss it with the doc, hopefully they know you well enough to help you interpret what's going on and the risks and benefits of both options. Maybe you can come to a decision between you, or have a plan ready in case going with no meds is not as good as you hoped.
Most of the doctors I know would rather you could be well without meds, but it's the main tool they have, so asking them a few questions might be enlightening and may make them think outside that box too.
Good luck and I hope you find the best plan for you.
❤️
