Don't just stop!: Do stop with medical support and monitoring. It can be the same doc or another but be watched in case of a w/drawal reaction. Nothing stays the same, so your mind may be a bit different, but it would have grown anyway. You'll be okay - but do it w/ help. A CBT therapist can guide you through emotional issues w/out side effects and can even help you deal w/ meds if you do need them. Best!
