I think the idea shouldn't be "will I be able to quit medication all together" but "will this give me stability and allow me to reduce the medications I need to treat the disorder". As long as you can see a long-term benefit in how you perceive the world and you feel more confident in your own ability to take care of yourself, you should see that as a win.

I wanted desperately to go off all my medication for a while, but am now seeing the benefit of being on them in conjunction of being mindful etc. I've been able to reduce the amount of medications I need to treat the disorder while maintaining longer periods of stability.

I'm not discouraging you from going au-natural, but I just wanted to establish that you shouldn't feel discouraged if it doesn't completely work out like you imagined.
