I definitely believe it's all you can take, and still get better. I can also relate to the 'there's something wrong with me that I'm like this' mentality, through spiritual projection, stigma from the medical health profession, and just plain old being hard on myself.
I know a lot of people with various mental health diagnoses who seek alternative medicine: acupuncture, acupressure, traditional Chinese medicine, herbalism, yoga, meditation (not that these last two are 'alternative' per se, I'm just listing them in context), naturopathy, chiropractic medicine, reflexology, energy work like Reiki or Healing Touch, chakra realignment, heck, even Shamanic healing. A lot of people refuse to comply with the medical standards of today, and want to feel better about what they are putting in their bodies and how they are being treated as a whole, by themselves, and by their practitioners.
There's a lot of responsibility involved in this, as in anything else, obviously...and it's not for everyone. Belief has a big part in it, as does money. Most (if not all) of these things are not covered by basic medical. And one session of any of them can be expensive, not to mention whatever treatment they prescribe. But there are ways. For instance, in my city there are alternative health colleges where you can get treatments from practicum students for $20 or so. There are members of the wider community who do things like plant spirit medicine and other forms of healing and are usually open to trading knowledge or treatments for goods or services rather than money. And some places, for example acupuncture clinics, will allow you to exchange work for treatments (ie. clean the office for free treatments).
If you plan to stay or go on medication and supplement your care with any of the above, it should be fine with the exception of herbs or anything else you plan to ingest. Make sure you talk to your regular physician and a specialist about any possible interactions between natural remedies and medications.
I hope it works out for you. I myself would like to be off meds and on a natural path. I am tired of meds not working but only staying on them because I'm scared and because I know how much work it'll be to not be on them anymore.
