I only take antidepressants and other meds because the alternatives are suicidal behaviors, severe depressions, or mania that destroy relationships.
They do make me sleepy and do have sexual side effects.
I also do some "natural" things but am grateful for the drugs because my life was a living hell before them.
I think if you get bad enough you'll try anything. If you can go it without meds, I think that's absolutely fantastic! Good luck to you.
