I hope that today you're doing better, Amy3boys.
To answer your question- yes, I have stopped taking antip's several times in my life. The most difficult, however, was Seroquel because I was on it for 7 years. I started out with a standard dose, gained a lot of weight from the stuff, and while it did help me sleep it sure wasn't helping with anything else. So I dropped it from (I think??) 350mg. down to 75mg. I was on that for a year or so, but very much wanted to stop taking it.
My pdoc decreased the dose to 50mg for a few months, then 25, and eventually down to 12.5. At 12.5 I could sleep better, but I still had very unhealthy side-effects. I stressed to my pdoc that I definitely wanted to stop taking Seroquel.
I was taking the 12.5mg. for a couple of months, then 2 weeks ago took 12.5 every other night, then every third night. Then no more.
My sleep is by no means good. I'm working with it. I'm really glad to be off the Seroquel.
