Everybody quits taking their meds at times in their treatment.

As for me, every time I did quit, it was with my doctors ok, and I was closely monitored to make sure that if I got sick again, we could restart the meds. As you probably have already guessed, I got sick again and had to resume my medications.

I now have resigned myself to the fact that I will have to be on medications for the rest of my life in order to remain sane. In a strange way, there is a peace that comes with this realization. I have also added therapy to the equation and feel that this has benefited me tremendously.

Bottom line: talk to your doctor when you feel like getting off the meds. Work closely with them, and add therapy to the mix if you like. There are many weapons which we have with which we can fight this disease, and fight we must. Use all your weapons and never give up the fight.
