It's your choice if you want to go off meds, I went off mine in late 2009 but am thinking about going back on. I know with the clonazepam I had withdrawals sort of like the dt's and that was with tapering off in a hospital. I was on 2mg daily.

To be as safe as possible you *should* talk to your pdoc, I understand how awkward it can be but since I don't know exactly what you're on and why, nor am I any sort of med professional I don't feel right about saying, "sure, its okay to go off meds on your own."

My advice is that you have a good support system in place. Maybe try out some coping skills groups or something therapeutic like that. In my area we have support groups for people that go off meds so something like that may be helpful.
