Conclusion

The decision to discontinue a psychiatric medication involves 
weighing the risks versus the benefits. Abrupt discontinuation, 
although occasionally necessary, results in a higher incidence of 
withdrawal symptoms, relapse, and other complications. Once the 
decision has been made by a competent patient to discontinue 
medication, even if you disagree with the patient's decision, a 
thoughtful and gradual tapering strategy should be designed based on 
the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and disorder-specific factors 
that exist.
