Take the meds. The meds get you to a level of normalcy. The underlying issues causing depression can then be dealt with. But once you are diagnosed with severe depression its rare for your dr to take you off of the meds. Speaking from personal experience I have been on 20 mg of Lexapro for 10 years. When I am off for 4 months my depression comes roaring back so I stay on it and don't experiment with my brain anymore.
