There are people who take the pharmaceuticals with goal of stopping in the middle (and have done so.) However, pharmaceuticals require a prescription, and it's very difficult to get a prescription if you're not planning to go all the way. They can try ordering from overseas and self medicating, but that is both illegal and dangerous. I suspect most that aren't going all the way look to herbs because of their ease to get and relative safety.
