The only time I've ever gone cold turkey off a psychotropic drug was when switching between different SSRI's, like celexa to prozac, etc. It's a bad idea to stop benzodiazepines abruptly, and many antidepressants that cross-list for anxiety have withdrawal symptoms as well. Everyone's different, but I found prozac was like a sugar pill, the only thing it did was give me insomnia. If the drug you're on now helps, I don't see why you should stop taking it, unless it is addictive (like benzodiazepines).
