Perhaps, that is, if the drug ends up working for you. Its not just a matter of enduring side effects for a guarenteed result. For people such as myself, many side effects many side effects don't improve, nor does the drug do anything meaningful.
Many of the side effects are not begign, and ignoring certain side effects may not be healthy.
Extreme akathesia may be accompanied by cholinergic dammage. Insomnia, high blood pressure or weight loss can sometimes worsen the clinical condition. Treatment emergent suicidiality (IMHO) should always indicate drug discontinuation. Paranoia, or psychotic thinking can happen with MAOI's, Wellbutrin, which can also worsen the clinical condition.
