definatley don't just suddenly stop. if you are supplying yourself with medicane and want to stop, then you need to gradually get off of it. for a couple of days take have of what you're taking now, and then cut down from that, and so on..
i hope i helped (:

I know that cutting is addictive but i have learned to cope with it and i know u can too. There are other alternatives for cutting, for me its writing how i feel or drawing ( even on my hand). hope this helped :)

I think you should talk to a psychologist. Someone who can help you cope with your problems so you don't have to face them alone.

wow this is like reading my life story. the same exact things happened to me, i cut myself, i was always angry or mad or sad, i tried everything, but in the end all i wanted to do was die. there is a solution to this horrible thing that your going through, though it might not seem that way. idk if your parents no about all your feelings or anything but the way i got help was because my parents found out i cut myself and they made me go to a therapist AND pschycologist and the pschycologist gave me medicine for depression and some mood stabilizer and bi polar stuff and yes it takes awhile to find the right medicine that helps, but TRUST ME, you will get better! so i would advise you to TELL SOMEONE your problems and then let it go from there. you will get into therapy and all that jazz and eventually, you will be back to your normal self. you have a long road ahead of you and i wish you the best of luck.

What you are doing could kill you. You have no idea what having all that medication in you can do. If you are acting "weird" it means you are in crisis or on the verge of one. This is something very stupid and potentially deadly that you have done. The damage here to your health is substantial.
What you need to do and you must not hesitate on this as you should NEVER screw with your health is head to an emergency room. Don't delay, do it immediately.
Tell them what you have taken, why, when and the weird feelings and behavior you have experienced. Mention it's in relation to cutting and that you have been grappling with that unsuccessfully for 5 years. Don't BS them either as a psychiatrist will evaluate you at the hospital and they'll look into what you did with the drugs.
Bottom line you need immediate medical attention and a visit to the ER. You will likely be held 72 hours because you pose a risk to yourself and simply cannot be sent home if you have been self-medicating. They'll determine in that window of time the kind of help you need as this is a mental health issue and what you need from a psychiatrist, counseling etc.
You're quite sick right now whether you can see that or not. Do the right thing and get immediate medical treatment and tell them the truth about what you have been doing and why.
Should you just stop the drugs immediately? That too could have a very bad effect on your health and stability. They at the hospital are the ones who are going to help you get the drugs out of your system and monitor you and you shouldn't do anything at all without seeing them in an emergency room tonight.
You also have to be brutally honest with them at the hospital about your suicidal tendencies, attempts etc. and ABOVE all VOICES in your head. This is a sign of a mental health problem and a dangerous one at that if you're self-medicating and hearing voices on top. This is some pretty dangerous stuff to say the least.
So, go to the emergency room as this indeed an emergency and let them assess you and get you the help you have needed all this time.
