The only way to have to go off your meds is because you don't have the money to buy them. Then before you run out, you get your butt out there and find some help getting your scripts. If your'e having side effects that really affect you, then go to your p doc and get your meds changed. I think you said you have a pdoc. There is no holiday from meds. It's like being epiliptic or having heart trouble. If you go off your meds, eventually something bad will happen. It only takes about 5 minutes a day to take your meds. It's a good investment in trying to control the beast. I'm just shaking my head.
