I am on a med while in therapy. It took almost two years of mucking about with meds to find one that works. It has zero side effects for me (a bonus in life!) The meds have reduced my symptoms to manageable so that I can do therapy. I wasn't put on meds for depression. I am on meds for rages, anxiety and hypervigilence. With the meds lowering my symptom bar, it enables me to work on the actual issues, instead of fighting symptoms constantly. Not to say I don't have symptoms, because I do. Every day. It's just down to managing them, so that therapy is left for what it was meant for. Dealing with the trauma. For me this works beautifully. However I am lucky that I found a singular med that does what it should. Most don't.
