You best plan would be to taper off one medication at a time. Then you can see how well you do only removing one medication at a time. The key to tapering off these types of medications is to go slowly and keep in good communication with your physician. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.
Hi, kaijakiwi!
A couple of your medications are ones that are harder to taper off of. Personally, I wouldn't attempt it except with strict supervision by the prescribing doctor. I'd also be afraid of a recurrence of the original symptoms which is common.
Regards and good luck!
