Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I just saw my pdoc yesterday and have decided to postpone the drug vacation for a little while longer, only b/c I really have been going thru a hard time lately. I do think the idea is a good one...that I would like to try maybe when I'm a bit more stable and have the energy to do all the things you are saying like going off them slowly, drinking water, exercising, stopping the coffee. If I did it now, I know it would only be out of frustration b/c none of the drugs so far have worked very well. As if by taking a drug holiday I would be saying "ha! now I'll really show those drugs!" So, instead, I've started on what feels like some outrageous amount of Geodon (twice what I used to take). But maybe this time it will really work...
