Hey

I've been on medication for 3 years, and I can definitely say that it has helped. The anti-depressant i'm on doesn't make me feel like a zombie, and I still experience emotions!
I was quite anti medications until I'd been dealing with depression for 6 years and wasn't getting any better. Throughout those 6 years I had been on different medications, but I wasn't on them long enough to feel the benefits. Plus the ones i'd tried didn't work well with me. I finally found one that's right and have been doing well since.

It's completely up to you whether or not you want to try. If you feel that you've tried everything else and nothing's working, then it may be a good idea to try medication. Remember it can take quite a few weeks until you feel any positive effects from them, and you may get some side-effects, but they calm down also after a while. If one doesn't suit you at first, there are many more out there to try, so don't give up if you find it doesn't work.

I hope this has helped a bit!
