I believe it to be a quality of life issue. I could probably "go without" the very small bit of med I take. I was functional before, but the quailty of my functioning, and life in general, is improved on my med.
I can't separate the physical from the emotional in my struggles. I have a biologically based problem and treat it with the use of medication.
Keep in mind, most posters here are having problems with medications. There are countless folks who take meds for emotional, mood, etc... disorders that are living quality lives and they are not necessarily posting stories of good results on a forum. The view can get a bit slanted if you only use this forum to go by.
We all have choices and you must do what feels right for you, but don't discount a possibility for improvement with the use of medication.
Good Luck
