First of all I don't have all the answers. I was first dignosed as having bi polar with major mood swings and major depression and panic disorder. They have finally got it right now I'm shizoafective. Trazodone is like icying on the cake. I don't beleive you really need it but I am not a doctor yet so I can not tell you what to do. You say you want to get off all these medicine but you told your dad you need them. Do you exersice? Exercise helps so much with people like us. I take geodon 60mg 2x daily whenever i feel like it and it makes me go crazy its like i just did a shoot of dope. Which i've never done before. Try and eat something before you take your geodon. Also, if you don't eat properly and have a good diet you might as well not even take the medicine because it doesn't get to the brain if you don't eat. Remember excersie and diet and staying active is the best thing for you. Have you ever been on lithium? Its a very strong mood stabilzer?
