 I think I started this particular sub-thread in a reply to Jane.  You
 are right..there are many meds that, if they have been taken over a
 long period of time to build up to a theraputic level, should not be
 abruptly discontinued.  My reference was to prozac and a bad reaction
 within the first 24 - 48 hours - you bet I'd stop.
