Hi, Deneb.
The effect of messing with meds is that your meds get messed up.
Not generally a good thing.
If you and your pdoc agree that you need to change meds, or the dosage of meds, then it makes sense to go down slowly, and make a note of reactions you have.
This is especially true if you're worried about how you'll react.
Otherwise-- ie in the absense of your talking with your pdoc and doing something with his/her input-- it really isn't in your best interests to experiment.
You can't run experiments with a patient sample of one- ie yourself-- anyway. You can just get confused about what caused which and who did what when, and how your meds, or lack of them interacted with it-- all of it being highly speculative-- and subject to your imagining this and that.
So, don't mess with your meds, okay?
Cause if you're doing relatively well-- well-- that's what you (and I and Racer and others here) would want.
