I don't believe one should fiddle on their own with their meds rather they should consult their prescribing doctor.

This is a subject very near to me. I have experienced weight gain due to medication; and yes, numerous times I have had the thought of just ceasing to take the offending drug. But, I am then reminded of what my life was like before the medication and I realise living that way again is even worse than the loathing of my physical appearance. I have begun adjust to the fact that this is what I must accept and become accustomed to.
