I've tried this a few times and it always kicks my *****. I'm lucky that my T is also my pdoc and he is patient with me whenever I go through my "no meds, please" phases. I think it depends a lot on your dx and also how bad your bad times are (or whatever your meds are helping with).

I don't think of my meds as a magic bullet (my dx is bipolar). I just think of them as something I require to keep living from day to day...like water or air. When I get the urge to quit and go med free, I also tell myself that I can always start again BUT during that med free time I almost always do something really, really stupid or I get so miserable I think I'll never get better or when I do start back on meds they don't work the same and it takes awhile to get the right mix again. Plus it always takes awhile for them to start working again and you're already miserable by that point and don't want to wait. I'm sure you've been through this drill before? Maybe?

One positive thing I get from my med free experiments is that, when I start back on my meds eventually, I get a much better idea of just what each medication does or doesn't do for me.

I'm not saying don't try it. I'm just saying have a plan in place before you do so you don't have to go through any unnecessary misery if it doesn't work out. Good luck.
