I do recomend discontinuing medications prematurely for certain reasons.For instance, I had taken zoloft for a few months while feeling significantly worse than before taking it. Such feelings did not improve over the two months, and didn't abate untill after I stopped the medication.
When a different doctor initiated the same drug on a different ocasion, the exact same feelings returned, so I trusted myself and stopped the drug. I didn't expect anything magical to happen the second time around.
In some cases its not really a matter of blindly following the doctors orders, or getting over a start up phase. Its a matter of, I know where this trial is going, and this isn't a matter of toughing it out.
Somtimes I think that this is the clinical effect, ie inducing some sort of hellish drug reaction that takes your mind off your real problems. You know, how when you go to a horror movie you leave feeling glad to be alive, even though you are no more alive then when you went into the theatre.
