There are other routes (for me I know walking, biking, etc; and doing something creative helps...along with some sort of schedule when I can keep it)----and I do actually want to go off meds again as I decrease my time in the work world (I take a lower dose of SSRI, and as-needed benzo now vs higher dose and routine benzo...)...haven't gotten there (no meds), may or may not; but I was definitely helped by meds for a long time---- i have no other health problems/meds, that helps----especially as I get old(er)....
