I have heard and read about several cases of people who did get better after they stopped taking their meds. But this was specifically with SSRI's. They weren't doing that great on the meds anymore (the drugs had worked really well, for a certain period of time), so they stopped (usually to try something else etc) and actually felt better. I'm wondering, with those folks, if the medications had actually "fixed" the biochemistry, and staying on the drugs longterm just wasn't needed anymore, and was in fact too much. I have no explanation for it. AND it certainly wasn't my experience when I stopped paxil. So, who knows, we are all so different when it comes to these drugs.
