have you tried meditation?

I don't know those meds. but you should taper off any med.

All medication should be tapered through a doctor's advice and watch. Never cut medications like that cold turkey. You'll suffer more and it can cause you more problems. Believe you me, I've tried to do it many a time and ended up worse each time. I've learned to accept my disability and that some medications I will have to be on for a lifetime. It could be worse, I always say.
Best to you! A.
