But that would mean tapering off my mood stabilizer, plus 2 antipsychotics, and 2 antidepressants. That's a lot of tapering and would be hard to do. Maybe I should just continue to deal with taking the pills Idk

I currently take 2 antipsychotics, 2 antidepressants, and an anti-anxiety medication. Whenever I've tried to reduce any of them to a significant degree, I've had trouble. I am not saying this will be the case for you, but be careful. I've had the conversation with my doctor about coming off meds, too. I understand your frustration about the meds working, yet there may be a certain part of you that wants to come off of them. I've found no easy way of dealing with this other than being as honest as I can be with my providers.
