I guess I lean two ways with this conversation.
One is that you should determine whether you want to take meds or not based on your own experience.
And second, that meds are not either all good nor are they all bad. There's a balance between the two sides of the spectrum.
Certainly, there are potential harms that meds can cause. But it's not worth counting them out simply because of that fact. There are plenty of things that can harm you on a day-to-day basis.
I'd recommend doing some research.
