I know where you are coming from... But first, are you on OWL or even Pre-Maintenance? I understand that weight loss may slow down considerably on these phases. You might want to revise the amount of carbs you take or even go back a level or two, as you may have reached your CCLL.
I can't give you much advice on quitting the drugs except that I have generalised anxiety/depression and I would not stop taking my meds unless I was in imminent danger of losing my life because of them ! I have managed to lose steadily - if a bit slowly - on this diet despite my meds and I take a lot of them. If I were you, however, I would consult my Doctor before doing anything as radical as quitting.
Hope that helps...
