I know that I should not do it but I drop medication all the time even if they might be helping me. I know that my psychiatrist gets exasperated by this, but she seems to have accepted how predictable it can be.

I think the mentality is often that I don't want to be to on too many medications and that I was furthermore want to optimize what I think is working.

So, I quit cold turkey all the time with no ill effects, even dropping 300mg Effexor that I took for a few months. I just can't tell anyone to not do what I've done but I sure as hell will not encourage it because I know it's wrong.
