@ Blue_Bird I know what you mean about feeling you're on too many meds. Though I think if you are stable and sleeping okay I wouldn't mess with it. But that's just me, I'm a walking polypharmacy! Every time my doctor tries to cut things out, it seems to backfire such getting off clonazepam has resulted on my being on buspirone, propranolol, and hydoxyzine and an extra 50 mg Seroquel. On the positive, I'm no longer on a benzo, on the negative, I'm on all these others. I tried reducing the buspirone and that made my anxiety go up, I did get down from 3 propranolol pills to 2 daily, but otherwise, eh. Still, often I feel like cutting the quetiapine in half to give myself more energy, but that means I don't sleep as well and the last time I tried it I got manic. Definitely don't do anything without discussing it with your doctor first though.
