You lucked out.
That is not generally the case- that one has 'not a single side effect'.
The potential risks of quitting anti-convulsants abruptly include convulsive seizures, and the fact is it is very difficult to be accurately aware of what will make them more or less susceptible to this result.
Do I have to spell out all the consequences of convulsive seizures? They are actually kind of a big deal.
Have you had a seizure, convulsive or not?
Do you actually understand what you are suggesting here when you promote the idea that it's safe to "cold turkey" off of an A/C? Or are you just going of of your experience, or even a handful of experiences that you may have read or heard about?
The danger is real. If you don't care for yourself, that is one thing.
To spread dangerous misinformation is simply irresponsible.
