Psychiatric drug withdrawal brings its own dangers
Including the possibility of psychosis (madness)

Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal 101

Dr. Terry Lynch writes this, in the notes to this video, which is from 2012:

"The contents of this video should not be taken as an endorsement of ceasing psychiatric medication without adequate supports, as to do so can result in significant problems including, on occasion, the need for hospitalization."

See, for example, the Withdrawal Advisors and Support section on the CEP website and this page and relevant section from the top menu on the Beyond Meds website and this site.

Recommended book: Anatomy of an Epidemic / Robert Whitaker (2010).
