I'm certain there are MANY members, here on PC, who have gone off of their med's at one time or another. I certainly have... multiple times. I personally have never had any real problems doing so. From my perspective, the main problem has simply been that it can be a bit of a confusing time. Some of the withdrawal symptoms a person can experience can seem similar to physical ailments. And so it can be difficult to know for certain if something you're experiencing is from going off of your medication or if there's something else going on.

Here are links to a couple of articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of withdrawing from psych med's:
