I completely rely on the meds to survive, live, and to keep living. In my case, though the therapy has helped tremendously with coping skills, I could not have made it to therapy in the first place if it weren't for the meds when they started to work or been able to return to return to work. The coping skills are helping me to keep the job too though now. Meds alone were not enough by themselves but are my foundation and lifesaver.
