Meds benefit/risk: Medications generally leave the body within a few days of taking them. Some psychiatric medicines may stay around for weeks. Your medications are probably out of your system. However, mental problems usually don't just go away and not taking meds may be more dangerous than medication side effects. You should discuss the risks and benefits of taking or not taking medicine with your doctor.
