My pdoc told me he doesn't reckon my sodium valproate are working and was keen to change me but I told him I want to come off all my meds. He agreed to work through a withdrawal programme with a back up plan of increasing my quetiapine. Aside from the fact I think he is wrong about my diagnoses, I know he will worm his way into my brain and get me to agree if I feel the sligtest bit bad which will put me back to stage zero.
So, I have decided to go it alone. I started last night. I stopped the sodium valproate. If they are not working, it is a bit bloody silly taking them really isn't it? That's like taking paracetamol when you don't have pain. I read that all I can really expect in the way of withdrawals, from the valproate is very slightly possibly nausea.
My plan is to get off them all, then present him with the new me. I will do the mirtazepine next and I believe there are very few reported side effects from wihdrawal and lastly the quetiapine. The quetiapine will be the hardest as I rely on it for sleep, but I will cross that bridge then.
Anyone done similar? Experiences?
