Does Sudden Withdrawal From Spironolactone Safe?

I have been taking spironolactone, as well as several other medications, for several years. I have congestive heart failure and afib. Due to financial constraints, I have not taken the spironolactone for a few days. It may be a few more days before I can fill the prescription. Can this be risky for my health?
