I have Schizoaffective disorder. I am off meds at the moment, came off them with very close monitoring from medical types though and on the condition of doing things like sleeping X amount a night, having a decent diet, getting exercise, etc. and avoiding stress, as a way of controling and managing it. And that several people were made aware of it and have a crisis plan and a list of "signs of an impending episode" so that if things started to go wrong there were people who knew what to do and could get me help
So far it's not gone too badly, though having a mild blip at the moment...
ye, it is possible... but only with support from your psych/GP/whatever and probably with people around you knowing about it.
Basically speak to your MH team and see what they say. If they advise against it though then listen to them do NOT come off them on your own
