Well, pirilin, I am struggling mightily with the same question in my own life at this time. During my most recent pdoc appointment I was very honest with her and told her about my profound concerns. What has been decided is that I am stopping a couple of meds and dropping the dosage of another one. The perspective I have now is that some people are just plain over-medicated. I firmly believe that I have been one of those people.

My guess, and this is only a guess, is that it does benefit you to be on some meds at a reasonable dose. The Zen of it is figuring out what "some" and "reasonable" means for you.
