Yes and for some meds don't work, so why not try other routes? Are you encouraging staying on meds for sake of staying on meds? If you reduce your meds under supervision, it can be a good thing. Worst thing is you have to restart them...but at least you have a clean slate and maybe can arrive at better combo that treat actual symptoms and not med induced ones.

And no,I am not misuderstanding your post. Your tone is very harsh and obnoxious. It doesn't sound as nicely worded advice.

Also "going of gradually under guidance" =/= cold turkeying likely in the midst of an episode.
