Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Please do not take your own decisions in this case. Your psychiatrist is your best judge. Let him assess your situation. Tell him you feel better and he may taper your medication. In fact, external feeling-good is not actual. They are mostly false. Do not rely on your intuit. Relaxation and Psychotherapy can help you to taper the medicines and to stop.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
