I think whether to do this or not hinges on what your diagnosis is. If you think you may go into a manic state or a deep depression than you may have to very closely monitor going off the meds. I too think you are over medicated. I've never read of anyone taking this many psych meds at the same time. I have gone off my meds before, sometimes for years at a time, but I am one of those people that can survive without meds (although the quality of my life suffers without them). In my personal opinion I think starting over would be a good idea. I too am taking quite a few meds and can't make heads or tails out of which once might be causing a specific side effect. I think the key is to taper them very slowly. Just my opinion. I wish you luck and let us know how it goes.
