Each person has to see what suits them best I suppose, some would be most unwise to stop taking meds, while others may well find meds are useful in a crisis but are able and would rather control their illness by other means at other times. Unfortunately the nature of many people's illness might well limit their ability to appreciate their need for meds and to take wise decisions about continuing them.

Wise of course to seek professional advice, but in the end it is a personal decision.
