If the mental state or states is genetic (often is) than I would think the answer is no and you would likely return to a pre med state. Think of a diebetic stoppping insulin.
Also if you grew up in an environment that assaulted your brain with constant stress than there's a chance your brain was permanently damaged and you will probably return to a pre-med state when discontinuing meds.
I think those who had normal periods and developed a mental problem later in life (situatonal) have the best chance of being able to discontinue meds.
