UNWISE THING TO DO WITHOUT YOUR DOCTOR'S APPROVAL!!!

The thing is WHAT DO THESE DRUGS AFFECT MAINLY??? YOUR BRAIN--PERIOD!!!

Cold turkey works for an extremely few set of people... Most humans MUST be stepped down with ANY anti psycholytic drug...

What happens is not only does your brain physiology change, so does your other organs, namely your liver that is the major organ that catabolizes xenobiotics drugs... Cold turkey removal of a drug once your body has adapted to it thru a "step gradient" could prove deterimental to many other organ systems, eventually causing organ failure... If it doesn't affect your brain, it could affect your heart as a secondary effect... Or possibly your kidneys. And going into heart or renal failure ain't fun!!!

That is why illicit drug withdrawal is extremely dangerous without methadone...

And just by the what SAIROSE is stating in her posts suggest that the meds she did have and was taking were probably getting old and spoiled be the mere fact her "mental accuity" was beginning to wane... Basically, ask her if she "feels her mind" is rather "fuzzy"... Classic cold turkey withdrawal symptoms... Medical textbook example of it...
