Power to you!!! I totally support people who after a time of stability want to try life without all those meds. My experience has been that shrinks (not all!!) like to to prescribe increasingly more medications, which kind of makes sense if you see it from their side: with hoards of patients and long hours it is just much easier to keep adding med after med instead of trying to problem-solve and just simply find something that works. I was on twelve different meds for a looooong time. Then, I by chance and with the help of a wonderful, knowledgeble and compassionate psychiatrist was able to fing a med that just suited my body right. Now I'm on three meds. I know that that isn't like being entirely off meds, but a 75 % reduction is a good start in my view. It is also great to have energy again and be able to sleep on my own accord at night without waking up totally hungover. Much better quality of life. So I believe that working to live either entirely without meds or with as little as possible is a really healthy and empowering thing. All the best of luck!
