Some of us, like me, are not on medications. Don't know if you can stop yourself from being locked up again with out them. That will really depend on the people around you and perhaps how well you can lie when your mad. You don't want to end up in a hospital again and you probably have a few other things you'd like beyond that.

Most days I don't notice I'm not medicated, some days I'm glad I'm more able to experience and some days I really regret going off medication though I remember missing even a proper depression.
