I tried to deal with my issues without drugs, because I am so sensitive to them and often react in the unpredicted ways mentioned in the small print. Many drugs, even at "safe" treatment levels, send me into psychosis--I end up in psych units for as long as a month. Other "safe meds, safely dispensed" make me numb, put me in a fog that has me dependent on search engines to find words ... & I was a writer.
After years of going it the therapy-alone route, I began a quest for the right pdoc for me. Finally I found a pdoc willing to agree to find the best meds for me--not "good enough" but the best available for me. it wasn't easy finding the right pdoc ... but so worth the effort.
