Yes make no mistake, quitting cold turkey does suck wet rabid dog a.s.s!
But I managed to ride out the withdrawls and the ultradian cycling that ensued just like every episode before I was diagnosed, and have been med free since 2011...

Med free is not for everyone. For starters; You need to be über- self aware, have a load of insight and be armed with coping mechanisms for your next swing as there is no chemical safety net in place.

Without the basics, you will almost certainly be crawling into your pdocs office on your knees before your brain has re-adjusted to the time before (drugs).

Not impossible though, there are quite a few of us off our meds for whatever individual reason, but I guarantee not one of us will advise to jump into this blindly...
