Yes. Maybe a 5 out of 100 people will be ok. That's not very good odds.
Perhaps you should take some time before making a decison. It sounds like you are very impatient, and making such an impulsive decision might have serious consequences. The bad stuff usually begins on day 3 after discontinuation. If you begin to experience intense withdrawal symptoms, I would recommend that you restart the drug and use a flexible-dosing program to taper and discontinue the drug with a minimum amount of discomfort.
