It really can have a totally detriental affect on both your physical health (you could have a fit) and your mental health (you could end up worse). Please ask for new meds and a schedule to phase out the existing ones. Please dont damage yourself for the sake of waiting a few days. Dont be fobbed off by your doctor - tell him your intentions and ask for the ‘reduciton’ programme . that’s what you need

Dont upset your brain waves by depriving it of something it has just gotten used to - it could have pretty catastrophic results. Please wait the few days and check with a preofessional.

Because if not, you NEED to listen to them, you might not be ready to move on yet. Your mom, loving and wonderful though she might be, is not an expert here, and she can’t tell you what will make you better.
Maybe you need to ask your doctors for different meds if the ones you are using aren’t working for you?
