i wonder if it would be possible to try going off one med really really slowly.... like decrease your dose by 5% every 4 months.... stay at one level for an extended period of time and see how you react ... keep good journal records of sensitive situations and how you react to them reactive thoughts/thinking/behaviour/physical feelings
how worried you are would determine how much documentation and how slow you go ......
obviously this should only be done after talking to your doc right?? if i found something that worked for me i wouldn't want to risk blowing it .....
