jennie,
You brought to my attention, and I thank you.
I do also disagree as you stated, but not all the times, it depends what kind of meds and how reputable the doc.
I guess I am mixed on this, but certain meds, should really be discontinued by checking with a doc.
I decided yrs ago while on antibiotics for strep throat, that I felt better, didn't finish the meds and the strep came back and worse, I needed a stronger med. due to how fast bacterias replicate, becomming immune to the antibiotics, soooooooooooo, here is one example of why I agree, where as if a psych med is making one really ill, stop and call the doc, most docs and the side effects monologues will state that.
Again, according what kind of med, discontinuing should be checked with the doc.
Thanks again.
