I am not for and not against meds. For my condition (autism), meds are not really a standard treatment, but can only be used to manage certain symptoms. I have been on meds in the past. If a doc ever suggested I go on a drug, I'd consider it on an individual case basis. Like, is the med likely to help with my particular symptoms at the time, what are the side effects, have other treatments/supportive interventions been tried, etc.
