You should also make sure you're eating healthy and start a regular exercise program. Take this time to treat yourself very well. Regular exercise can make a huge difference in the way you feel physically and mentally. It will also improve your self esteem tremendously. I also highly recommend meditation - amazing how it quiets the mind and allows you to cope better. Making yourself strong mentally and physically is the best gift to yourself. If you want to try all this for a month and see how you feel you might be able to skip the meds. If you don't feel better then follow Belle's good advice.
