It depends on you and your dosage. I have stopped Lithium cold turkey to have ECT done and had no physical side effects BUT emotionally I was a wreck. I would not recommend in at all. Please let your doc know how you feel before you do anything.
I do kind of understand though as I want off all my meds and keep threatening to refuse all my meds in hospital but reason hits me that stopping so many meds suddenly would cause more problems. Still, in the right circumstances, when stable, I might give it a go. While you are unstable it is best to not rush off your meds as it may only make things worse.
