Medication-wise, I quit the medications I was on, and I didn't have any bad side effects/withdrawals. I was going to be taken off the meds I was on (seroquel, risperdal and Zoloft) anyways, so it made no difference to me.

You know Zoloft takes a while to get out of your system. You may get really depressed within a few weeks. What is your backup plan for when/if depression hits? Will you go back to the doc or to a counselor?

Abrupt stopping of Seroquel and Risperal can cause psychotic episodes and/or hallunications. I'm not sure how long you'll be vulnerable to those symptoms.

Does any family member know you have stopped those medications?
