   Where you treated by said doctor? Or can you point to a person who was,   
   and was abruptly removed from a medication?   
      
   Taking someone off of most any medication without some sort of gradual   
   reduction of dosage is dangerous. There are a few exceptions to this   
   (antibiotics come to mind), but in general, it's a bad medical practice.   
   As a person who was on eight different medications and under psychiatric   
   supervision (albeit relatively poor; a nurse oversaw my medications for   
   3 of those years as the Oregon Health Plan was too cheap to allow me a   
   proper psychiatrist) for 5 years, I can assert that *NEVER* was I   
   abruptly removed from a medication. Indeed, it was well-communicated to   
   me to NEVER let that happen.
