So many times! Yes, I'm bad for that but, sometimes there were circumstances like my being convinced my doctor wanted me on Zoloft so he could make me crazy so he could lock me up and feed me to cannibals, really! Or going to the psychiatrist complaining of crawling out of my skin, nonsesne thoughts, inability to sleep or eat, hearing things, being more depressed yet not (confused much????) And suicidal only to have him dismiss it all as anxiety and increase dosages.

So, quitting "cold turkey" without supervision or approval was it.

Last time I quit medications, sometime this summer I guess and still not on any, yay!, I just got a bit lazy about making appointments and had enough of "mood stabilizing" effects of them drugs, and side effects, apparently a healthy appetite is less important than having some bipolar symptoms under control??? F that good doctor!

Only once was it bad timing that I quit 'em.

Quitting medication definitely comes with an adjustment phase that is almost about as bad for me as starting any new medication.

Really though, I'd rather play russian roulette with my natural mood states than take pills seemingly randomly selected by some douche bag in a white coat who has never experienced anything like them but wants to tell me what is best!
