I'm not rejecting the idea outright, just trying to explain why I'm reluctant to do that.

Yes, it would. However, the whole problem is that you are spinning your wheels, so to speak, on the entire issue. It's something you've battled for a while, and it doesn't seem to be making much improvement. It might just be the help you need. At the very least, talking to a psychiatrist wouldn't hurt your situation.
Also, if you are worried about any drug effects, you can ask the doctor about them and have your loved ones help monitor your changes. If you don't like them, you could get off of the medicine.
