Medications have their own side effects but also effects. It is not necessary that everyone will have side effects. If you don't have any symptoms, then discuss with your doctor about tapering medications and stopping them eventually. Do not stop immediately, as illness may exacerbate. -Dr. Ambrish Dharmadhikari Consultant Psychiatrist, Mumbai
