Depends what you define as success. I quit my meds 2 yrs ago and have managed to work and be a single mother. There are a few members going without meds, we each just sought out what worked for us and stuck to it. Just like meds, its an individual path, filled with trial and error, what works for me may not work for Adam. A large dose of acceptance, a healthy portion of lifestyle tweaking and a support system is neccessary with or without meds, but can save your life while without.
