I think it really depends...if your meds have short half-lives, then missing a couple doses could reduce the amount floating around in your bloodstream, which I guess would then start withdrawal and/or unleash symptoms that had been controlled with medications.
Plus, if you have mood swings and what not already, adding in med withdrawal and re-emerging symptoms could possibly make things worse, although some people do better on lower dosages or different med combos....in general, I'd say if it ain't broke, don't fix it--but, if you do have problems with your med combos, or if you don't really want to take certain meds, that's something worth discussing with your friends, family, and doctor...although utimately, you have to decide what works and what doesn't.
Good luck.
