Just be careful. Make sure that there are some people you can trust that know you are not taking them right now, and can keep an eye on you. Feeling the emotional intensity can be good... but it can also lead to whatever led you to start taking the meds in the first place, only worse!

I'd advise seeing your doc too... just tell him your feelings and that you want off some of the medicine to start tapering it down. He can help you do it slowly and safely.

Working in the psych hospital, I have to say that about 85% of the patients we get in, are there because they quit their meds on their own and became dangerously unstable.
