Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
I understand your concerns about medication side effects and your desire to taper off. However, stopping psychiatric medications abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or relapse. It is very important to consult your psychiatrist before making any changes to your medication regimen.
If you do not want to take medicine, you can consider therapy alongside gradual tapering to help manage your symptoms effectively. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychometric testing and other therapeutic techniques can help address the root causes of your concerns and equip you with coping strategies.
Meanwhile you may practice pranayama, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation.
