I'm not going to yell, but I do think this kind of experiment is best done under supervision. But I'm curious - why hide it from your doctor? If you have a discussion with her/him and explain that your current meds aren't working and you want to wipe the slate clean and see where you're at, then the experiment could be done as a team effort. If it does turn out that you want to start meds again, then your doc will be ready and in the loop. At least that's how I did it.
