I was on Wellbutrin for a while, that was after they tried, Lexapro, Prozac, and other anti anxiety meds.

I've been really blessed to be able to get off my medication after awhile (and withdrawal sucks), but I look back now and know I probably would've commited suicide if I hadn't been on it and started therapy.

As Davey suggested, I did both and managed to work through my 'deeper' issues to the point that I could live without meds (except occasional anxiety med). You should keep in mind though that everyone is different, and many do end up taking meds the rest of their lives.

Hope things work out for you
