Hey, that is real good news. I'm really tired. But was so happy to read this piece of good news about your progress that I had to log in to congratulate you. Glad you manage to let go of one of the medications.
Be careful of the withdrawals though. With xanax I read it is quite bad for some people. Read more about it and learn all you can also about your other meds. So you can better understand what you are taking and help manage your mental health better.
Anyway, rejoice pal, as this is indeed some really good news your shrink gave you. She is indeed "shrinking" your dosage too ya. Haha.

Hey sleeping medication and medication for depression etc is different ok. Try telling your doctor(not the shrink) that you hve trouble sleeping. So you can get the accurate prescription to aid sleep. You can tell the doctor that you are seeing a shrink and taking other meds. So won't mix up or conflict. But what I mean is keep the sleep problem seperate from the mental problems so that the medication you take will be correct for each ailment. Just a suggestion.
Again, you know yourself best!

Hey, bigman, do you take the medicines during day or evening? Do the meds cause you drowsiness during the day? If yes, it is possible to take in the evening, but must ask your doc first lah...
