My psychiatrist doesn't know if my remission is the results of the meds I am on ... or the coma. I had several seizures before I went into a coma and he thinks my brain may have re-wired itself.

You wrote,[...my psychiatrist doesn't know...I don't know what to believe..I would like to get off...I don't know what is holding me together...My psychiatrist says that it is up to me (to stay..or not).Any advice would be great...].
If you would like to know if resuming your life now without the psychotropic drugs, if those are what you are taking, being in your systems from this point on, I think that if the questions that you have are resolved to your satisfaction that an informed decision could be made.
I see from the grammatical structure of your post that a {crossroad} is before you, and that you do not know what to believe as to which road to take, for your psychiatrisrt says that it is up to you.
Us the question that is raised here as to if you could or if you could not resume your life without taking psychotropic drugs, if those were the drugs that you are referring to?
You may have noticed that in many of my posts that they are directed to {friends}, for I consider all here to be my friends and I would like to post here from my perspective what I see from your post as to asnswer your question as to being in the crossroad as to which road to take.
My perspective may be different from others here concerning as to which road to take and I would like to continue here if you would want me to. I will do so if you post here that you would like for me to post from my perspective.
