As a (complete) aside: I do think withdrawal from meds should be far more gradual than is customary (as in decades in some cases, maybe even started just after you began taking them). It gives many helpful meds a bad rep. They do (wouldn't go so far as to say absolutely all do) protect your brain. Quick withdrawal can jeopardise all that: cause renewed or worse brain excitation/excitotoxicity

Does it give meds bad name? I usually see people use it as a proof they are really THAT ill and they NEED meds.
If the meds are so helpful, they wouldn't have such hellish withdrawal and you wouldn't feel worse than before after skipping few doses, imho.
Of course, doctors often don't talk about how bad the withdrawal can be, that accidentally skipping dose and feeling bad is proof of withdrawal,
not state of your well being...
Do they protect your brain? All I know some APs cause brain atrophy, quite the opposite of protecting your brain. Many meds have "stupids" as side effect. How do they protect it, if you feel slowed down on them?

So, as maybe an aside, now: I agree/think that calling anyone who is stable/non-psychotic (or at any time, really; even if you are) can be very harmful. Doing it retrospectively when warranted is a different story, of course: might help immensely.

I don't really understand this bit.
