In my experience, I feel that there is 50-50 kind of way, where no matter how much medication was taken, yes, it helps me feel energised...my life depends on it for stability, because I would get acutely suicidal even more without it. However, just my opinion is that with the first half of my system being healed by the medication, or maybe could say that lifted up the weight of depression, there is always another second half, which is the mind, the memory, the perception...etc. that is stuck into the traumatised zone. For a short while, with the medication, it feels good, but then another half could gradually affect the first half to become down again. So my point here is, I believe that both therapy and medication should work together as always. IMHO, it seems like taking medication is a temporal method of coping, but if the trauma has been resolved by talk therapy, the effect would be much more long-lasting.
