It's also worth considering which meds are the worst to withdraw from when you pick what your preferences will be. SNRIs are worse to come off of than SSRIs, though they both suck. The shorter the half life of a drug, the worse the withdrawals will be. Even if you feel much better on it and think you'll just stay on it for life, you can never know what might happen. It might eventually stop working, and you'll have to go off of it to be able to take something else. That's happened to me and it's not fun. Still, medication is totally worth it imo, so not trying to scare you.
