Answer 1

You don't say if your dr is a neurologist or a gp or a phsychiatrist. and you don't say why you are taking the meds. seizures or ?

What I would suggest is go a get a second and third opinion from other doctors, don't stick to him only.

He might've diagnosed you wrong. So, see someone else

All the best

Answer 3

You should never give anything up instantly, they need to be reduced slowly over a period of time, if you want to cut down you should do it slowly. You don't mention any actual treatment, to help you like counseling or behavior therapy? I found the counseling much more help than anything else, you don't want to be on the drugs forever after all?? good luck. x

Answer 4

sounds like it may be to much. But im not a doctor. I been have medication to and i get worried for the same thing. But you can't take yourself off because that can cause a lot of problems in itself. I suggest going to another doctor for a different opinion. I have run into some bad doctors and so second opinion is always good. And if you feel like you are on to much you need to bring that up to your doctor.
