In my experience, the side effects from meds were so horrific they interfered with my quality of life...didn't seem worth it to me.
I think it all depends on the individual and what they are dealing with. I once read some research that indicated the most important thing in mental health treatment: A good connection with a competent, caring professional. That was shown to make the most impact on treatment.
It's strictly up to the person in treatment, though. All the meds and all the therapy in world aren't going to do much good if it's not a good match in either respect. I learned this the hard way with my ex-T.
