I know from my perspective, it was not so much whether to take meds or not, as I have tried both over these last 15 years, but whether I was willing to admit the fact that I needed medication. My perception of coping was always so different from those around me. Whereas I would feel like I was only having a bad day, those around me would tell me I was hell on earth to deal with. I had to first accept that I HAD symptoms that I couldn't simply control via will power and that I NEEDED help to control those symptoms. Once I admitted that, then the trial and error phase of medication started.
No decision is right or wrong. Either decision has concequences, some more serious than others. But ultimately, it is your decision as to what you want to live with and what you don't want to live with. Medication gives you options, as does therapy and self help techniques. For a lot of us, it takes a recipe of all three to gain the relative stability we desire.
