Ummm. I really just went through the addict thing. It is not good to go off your meds for anyone other than yourself, and if please you decide to, then (dear goddess) taper.
I had a brainy mutual friend talk to my husband about meds, ESP *just getting off* them. You now, like a magic transformation is supposed to take place and the afflicted sees the error of his or her ways and at the end of the movie is hugging everyone with tears in their eyes from saving them from the monster of addiction yet the ugly protected withdrawal and rebound scenes are edited out.
Any way you can get an alliance with him on medication? Pull him into a session? Concise, reliable med journal type reading?
Please don't let anyone or yourself put down such a rigid (short!) timeframe regarding medication.
I dig a pony.
