The reason people stop medications are complex. If a medication was working perfectly with no side effects, I think most people would continue to take it.

I didn't stop meds because they were working perfectly. I stopped meds because I didn't like the side effects and I wanted to reevaluate my underlying condition.

Sometimes stoping my medications was a very good thing, sometimes not. I would never tell somebody to keep taking their meds indefinately just because they are doing "ok".

If a person was doing "ok" on zyprexa, maybe its helping, maybe it isn't. I know people who stopped zyprexa when they didn't need it. In their case it was a *very good* thing as they have lost weight and lowered their diabetes risk. You can't just make blanket statements.
