If you have a psychiatrist who is prescribing the meds, maybe it would be good to discuss this with him, too, and maybe even have your therapist and psychiatrist talk to each other.
Is this therapist anti-meds? Some are. If he isn't, and really sees you at risk of unnecessary med dependence, this should be discussed among the three of you--pdoc, therapist and you.
I am dependent on my meds. I am also dependent on my breathing machine. I'd love not to be dependent on either, but they are necessary dependencies. Certainly, the solution isn't to just stop them!
My own experience is that without my meds, I would have continued to be too much of a basket case to use therapy well.
