You would probably be relieved to hear that some certain ones were slated for reduction or even discontinuation because they carry an addiction risk. He is a good doctor; he genuinely ensures people don't overdo it with pills. It isn't as if he prescribes things for no reason.
It is obvious you could manage without the pills right this second—😁 you already anticipated this—you are just stalling a bit to give yourself more time to process everything.

This process needs to be handled carefully and gradually so brain chemistry can adapt.
I once decided on my own to stop taking my Ad, and since I felt fine at the time, I didn't follow the prescription. About ten days later, I was hit out of nowhere by a sudden, intense craving that wasn't triggered by anything external.
It should be done under supervision—tapering off slowly—so that when you finally stop, you don't even feel it.
I suspect this topic will eventually move to the off-topic section under the heading Stella's corner.🤣
Naturally, in my usual style, I have included an appropriate little song.

The topic itself is framed so broadly that it’s difficult for anything to truly be off-topic, I guess. Even those measurements—let's say even a few inches counts as progress. If you hit seventeen, you’re doing quite well, and if you pass twenty, maybe you could even become a horse. And a horse is a noble creature, though perhaps somewhat underestimated in this modern era of machines and gasoline... in Chinese astrology, the horse represents healthy people, much like our Sagittarius—the centaur—which represents folks who are generally healthy and inclined toward sports, or football, or things of that nature.
It all comes down to personality, I suppose, and how one chooses to advance their character spirituality. Looking to animals for inspiration isn't such a bad idea, really. Kung Fu derives its various fighting styles from the way animals behave during combat; there are styles based on the crane, the snake, the tiger, the monkey, and the praying mantis... the crane style, for instance, is sort of a way of feigning weakness, where the basic stance is on one leg, and then you suddenly condense everything into a single point and strike with all your strength. Perhaps these styles could also be applied to verbal sparring and communication. In that sense, Stella might seem weak on the forum, but when she strikes, she would likely floor anyone. The tiger style is for those who prefer to be a bit wild and vehement, almost like a feral cat. Then there is the snake style, which involves striking suddenly, briefly, and with minimalism, before retreating back to a starting position, maybe somewhere below a pyramid. The praying mantis looks very much in love, but once those claws grab you... well, anyway, I am just saying, there are many such styles present here on the forum.
