I spent almost a year preparing to go med free..
I have done pretty well, but.... You have to be prepared to ride out the waves, often I white knuckle it and would hang on for dear life.
Even tho you stopped your meds and feeling okay now " Typically" it takes about 3 months for you brain to revert back to unmedicated state .. then you will really be able to see if you can manage to be med free.
You can never have enough coping skills.
Good luck !!!
