I'm okay with taking the meds I need in order to feel stable, functional, and have a "normally" good mental outlook.
The reason I want to decrease some meds (and go off them) is because I am on so many medications. For example, being on 2 antidepressants probably isn't necessary. The Amantadine is being more hurtful than helpful. So yeah...it's just too many meds causing side effects and interacting with each other. In addition to psych meds I also take a blood pressure medication and Metformin. My pdoc and GP keep nagging at me to decrease my med load. I hope I can get it down to the ones I really need, only.
