Have you previously attempted to taper yourself off your meds? It makes sense to wish to be off meds such as these now that you have been stable for a long period. My concern is you are doing this without the advice of the prescribing physicians or your support team, which is not a very good idea. You should at least consult with your mental health treatment team so you have an outside view of your mental health so you can more safely taper off the meds without any repercussions.

I have previously tapered off of Clonazepam and Immovane with MD supervision. I was also able to lower my antipsychotic medication dosage. That was about 7 years ago. I will definitely check with my mental health team before I do anything. Thank you for your support.
