I've been taking Lamotrigine for my bipolar 2 for at least a year now, and it helps, but I still have regular mood swings. To solve the problem, my psych recently added Quetiapine to the regimen. I am currently taking 300mg of lamotrigine and 50mg of quetiapine daily, and I'm still not seeing the results I'm looking for.
I recently asked if I could taper off of my meds and see what my base level is, since it's been a few years. I have never been hospitalized, or become a danger to myself/others. My psych did not accept this as an option, even though I have tried every single medication option for this and have not seen results.
Now, for some reason they are not accepting my appointments. I have rescheduled 3 times and each time my appointment was cancelled without notifying me.

I'm even more frustrated now, and even more inclined to get off of my meds. I want to do it safely, but my psych won't even honor my request and now will not accept my appointments.

ALL THIS TO SAY - can someone advise me on how to taper off properly? I am now afraid that I'll run out before I can do so.
