But if they're bearable enough and they help your depression, maybe start the program and see how if feels before you change anything, and then after you get some tools under your belt, you could start to ween off of them. If you find that medication helped more, then you can always try it again.
But you should do whatever feels right to you, not anyone else. Its how you feel physically and mentally and no one else can determine that but you. Also, keep in mind if you go off your meds that they may play tricks on you if you have started mentally relying on them. Remember to tell yourself that you can feel good without the pills, because you don't wanna let your mind think that that's the only reason why your depression has gotten better.
I wish you the best of luck.
