Your thoughts and experiences with medications - I want to get off this cocktail of pills

[doomXart]

Hey guys,

I'm on a huge mix of meds to keep my BPD in check and I've been like this for awhile. It has made me gain a lot of weight and overall I'm a constant zombie with a lack of real emotion. I want to get off this medication but I've become so dependent on it. I really don't know what to do about it. Has anyone else been able to decrease or completely stop their medication?
I worry about the kind of person I am when I'm not taking my medication (I become very self-destructive and negative). But something needs to change because I'm not happy like this either.

Cold turkey is the only way I know of. Be prepared to hide in a room owning your pain, fear and misery and avoiding all human contact for at least some months, so no one else has to worry about the kind of person you are without meds. It really works. Sometimes.
