I'd look up the side effects of getting off. Some are easy; some are really hard--like Paxil sounds like getting off heroin. In 1-2 years my husband will retire & we will be moving to another state (sunny weather almost all year) with great hiking, outdoor lifestyle which is what we came from & helps my mood tremendously so I'm planning to check into a well-known hospital there to try to wean me off my psych meds as much as possible (bipolar 1--take 6 meds & do need them now), but want to try getting off some & lowering dosages of the ones I can't get off. But I wouldn't attempt it without medical supervision as I've been on these meds for 10 years.--Suzy
