In a way you can call it wanting off meds if your willing to keep lowering your dose enough to where there is minimal side effects but are no longer at a therapeutic dose. But I don't know what that low threshold is for "why even bother taking any AP". Last time I came off my meds I didn't tell my previous pdoc until things got out of hand and begged to be put back on. So I'm thinking the same thing would happen this time but this is a new pdoc as the old pdoc retired recently. This new pdoc is also the medical director of the joint. She's nothing like my old pdoc.
