I can say that I have been med free for over three years. Took me years to figure out how to manage and recognize different behaviors though. I will be completely honest though. I have cycles of up and down and there are times I wonder. Especially when depression hits or the anger kick in. I do stick to a strict schedule every day. No day off. Up at six am. Every day. To bed by ten at latest. Some days sleep okay others up quite often but I stay in bed. I also use meditation, DBT tools a lot, prayer, exercise at least three to four times a week. I know when I do not, I start cycling faster. I also watch what I eat, sugars, bread, candy, chocolate, pasta, and sweets are out of the diet. Please be careful and think about your choices before you make them.
