I can totally relate to your post. I have almost the same diagnosis that you have and I take an almost identical regimen. I too feel like I can open up my own pharmacy, lol! In my experience (diagnosed at 19, now I am 34) I have had much better luck in combining meds than in only using just a few. It's been hard to handle the thought of it, but I actually feel much better now that I am on 6 (maybe it's 7) meds than I did on 1 or 2. Don't feel bad, I think there are many people here that are on quite a few meds, in fact I think it's the majority from what I have read. As far as trying to stop all meds, if you do I would suggest only cutting out one at a time. It would be much easier on you mentally and physically and you could gage which were needed and which could be dropped. Good luck.
