Depends...: ...on how adequately functional you may be, and how often and to what degree of "break-thru" you're experiencing on the current regimen.

YES: I suggest calling your prescribing physician and see if you can decrease quantity and dosing. I would also recommend psychotherapy with CBT ( cognitive behavioral therapy ).

Sometimes: multiple medications are required to treat psychiatric conditions. I wish more people responded to just one medication. Being on a lot of medications does not necessarily equate to being on unnecessary medications.
