> If the drugs are a good tradeoff for you, then by all means keep taking them

For many people, there is very little if any "tradeoff". Therefore, it is not an either-or scenario.

The decision to take medication is an individual and complex process as one takes into consideration a great many things, including the magnitude and persistence of dysfunction, psychic pain, and pattern of chronicity or recurrence. There really aren't many new drugs that are imminently available in the development pipeline. Waiting is a gamble of time. Not waiting is a gamble of untoward effect. For some people, waiting for spontaneous remission is an unacceptable alternative based upon symptom severity and temporal pattern of illness.

I can appreciate your decision to wait.

I do apologize for the remark I made regarding your being frustrating to deal with. It was meant to be a good-natured poking. I should have considered the possibility that you would not like being poked.
