Just think of therapy as an adjunct to medication. It's hard dealing with the changes and the stigma, and you might benefit from some extra support.
A therapist once told me that when doing therapy with highly intelligent clients, it can be slower getting started, since the intelligence is usually used as a defense against feeling, but the ultimately those clients progress more quickly since their intelligence helps them have the necessary insights.
Another trick that helps when I feel bad about having so much therapy.. think of it as education rather than medical care. You are getting education into functioning better as a human being, and integrating your emotions into your life. They don't teach that in engineering school.
