well.....I tend to think that no, they are not THE answer all the time, but maybe part of the answer, and sometimes you have to try a lot of things to see what works. While you are working on stuff with therapy the meds might just be a "backup" for you, make things easier, or they might really help you, but you've got to take them to know right?
I question the meds thing ALL the time, and I've recently decided that you know what...if I am stable, functioning well, not in crisis etc. for 6 mos. on the meds, then and only then will I consider tapering down. I'd like to really be seriously stable and enjoying the self esteem that might come from that, so I'll stay on the meds until I've got a decent amount of time like that.
just my two cents, I know it can be confusing though.
