Phil - I think the consensus of most posts I've read on these boards is that you should never go off meds without talking to your p-doc first - withdrawal symptoms can be hell. Your doc can assess your condition, reason you through why you want to go off of them and determine whether the side effects from withdrawal will precipitate a relapse into whatever started you on meds in the first place. It's probably best not to do this without calling your doc first and telling him the drowsiness is making you uncomfortable. Brain chemicals are tricky things :-) Hang in there and good luck!
