If you could stop taking your meds without any life threatening affects, would you be able to walk?

Before Jim started taking his meds, he was festinating and falling about once a week. That hasn't happened in a long time. I think he could walk, but would feel like crap. At least, that's what happened when he did an experiment and skipped his pills one day.

I think I could walk, but not cert far. And I would be so miserable, and want to scream at anyone in my way. I would also be in pain-my back, right leg, and. Ship.
