Please talk that over with a medical doctor, not with strangers on the internet. I would hate for you to do something that puts your health or safety at risk. I’ve seen it happen too many times to too many friends who underestimated the risks of going off medication.
Feel free to DM me if you’re having trouble connecting with a doctor for any reason, whether it’s personal or logistical.
In all seriousness, it’s very common for people to want to quit their meds because they don’t think they need them.
You think you don’t need them because they’re working, and if you stop taking them, they will stop working.

It’s fair what you’re feeling and experiencing.
