Swedish - I am not an expert , but I think you should read Peter Breggins books - for instance - Your Drug May Be Your Problem - How and why to stop taking psychiatric medications.
Make sure that you get the revised and updated edition.
One thing I am sure about is that you have to be very careful and do it slowly, slowly, in many steps.
Jellojellyrolls - Talk to your psychiatrist so they can make adjustments to your dosage. You may want to tweak it or lower the dosage and see how you do. Those are really bad side effects, especially the lactating. You should visit the doctor to check your Prolactin levels. Increase in those hormones can be risky. There are ways to control your symptoms or whatever you've been diagnosed with. Do something therapeutic or something that relieves the amount of daily stress. They say fish oil is good also 3000mg daily with your essential vitamins. I'm deficient in alot of vitamins like Folic acid and D which plays a huge part with your moods.
