I don't take them, and I'm also skeptical of the science that "says" that they work/are targeted at any specific condition. I think the biggest thing to remember about them is that what they do is numb you out a bit, so when you hit the level of numbness where you can function, that is enough of the drugs. Some docs have a tendency to pile them on and on -- I know being on five or six psych drugs is not uncommon -- and the side-effects from that are usually more debilitating than any underlying mental distress.
