While medication for behavior issues is sometimes justified, I suspect it is often the easy way out (for both you and your therapist/doctor). Sometimes it can be a short term help to push you into developing new habits, then you can stop or taper off. I am of your view though, I would be hesitant to turn to medication as a first attempt or with the view of it being a long-term solution. I don't think we understand well the long term consequences of very many of these medications (IANAMD).
