I Have Been Taking Clonopin, Gabapentin And Mirtazapine Together For

I have been taking Clonopin, gabapentin and mirtazapine together for over a year. I want to eventually get off of all of these medications. I am a 62-year-old male. These medications are causing me severe sexual dysfunction. My psychiatrist suggested that I try getting off the gabapentin first. I have been taking 100 mg for a long time and have recently switched to 300 mg and then 600 mg for the past 2 1/2 weeks. That's when I noticed severe sexual dysfunction. My psychiatrist said that he wanted me to just stop taking the gabapentin altogether and I'm worried about what kind of withdrawal I might have to go through. I've been taking 1 mg of the Clonopin and 15 mg of the mirtazapine. He has also got me taking Half of the mirtazapine. Is it a good idea to simply stop taking the gabapentin? I have been taking these medications to help with severe insomnia.I want to get off of these medications to try to cure my sexual dysfunction
