I decided after ~20 years of sequential disasters that there wasn't any point in hopping on or off my psychotropics on a whim or according to my own unsupervised survival or recovery strategies because the efficacy of my drugs depend on consistency and my doctor is ultimately responsible for my prescribed combination of powerful and possibly toxic medications, knows a lot about pharmacology and medication interactions that I don't, and should be kept apprised of my situation. Taking ill-advised, unauthorized and unannounced medi-vacations and then showing up in my pdoc's office a couple weeks later saying "I don't feel so good" isn't exactly fair.
