I can't afford this crap.

I'm currently on:

200mg lamictal
200mg Seroquel XR
25mg seroquel

I've been on seroquel for over a month.

Lamictal for 6 months.

Do I have to taper down on the lamictal or can I quit it cold turkey?

Cold Turkey was harsh for me, I wasn't on your cocktail but I hear its harsh for most. It realllly put me through the wringer and I had fight tooth and nail to not end up back in the pdoc's office. If you are adamant about quitting I strongly suggest a slow taper. I think Icarus Project has some good advice regarding tapering on their website.
Thanks for this!

Definitely, taper down all psych meds. If I were you, I would speak to my doctor before you start to taper, he should be able to suggest the best way to taper them.
