You really need to call your pdoc right away and let him or her know what you have done. You could have some pretty bad side effects from stopping your meds all at once. I know from experience and had to go to the hospital due to my decision to stop meds due to weight gain, stomach problems and other side effects. I went two weeks about without them and I thought things were going fine, but it just had to take time to catch up with my body. You should discuss with your doc your concerns about weight gain and see if there are other meds without such high chance of this happening. I feel awful since I too gained alot of weight and look terrible to myself and I'm sure others, but I know that I need meds because the good feeling from coming off meds wore off and I started feeling bad again. Now I am being weaned back on my meds and of course the weight is coming back, what a b****th. Whatever you do just don't do it alone without support from your pdoc. You might regret the choice to just stop on your own. Goood Luck
