Meds are different from one another and people are; no way to tell how any individual responds to any particular drug until the individual tries it. If you have tried everything else for your symptoms and what you are/have tried does not work well (nutrition, lifestyle, therapy, other meds) and there's a chance something you are worried about might work, I'd then take that, if I felt that, for me, the help from the med could outweigh the symptoms of the illness. No medicine is going to cure, it's just going to help so time and working on the problem in other ways might cure.
