Hi Joe...

Are you asking because you have done this already or are you wanting to do this?

 

I would strongly advise you not to suddenly stop your medications and to speak with your doctor about weaning you from these.  Nothing ever good comes from just stopping your meds.

 

I am going to give you some links so you can read for yourself about the withdrawl symptoms.

 

For Lithium take a look at this Wellsphere page.

 

For Remeron side effects of stopping this medication look here.

 

Good luck to you and please talk to your doctor!
