I think it depends on the underlying condition. Meds can work for years with bipolar, and I think they can be pretty effective for anxiety.
I may have a minimalist medication strategy but it is working and I see no reason to believe it will cease to work.
It might be a good idea for you to consider the appropriate scope of medications in your life. There are things meds can do and things they can't. Using them for what they can help is sensible. Expecting them to do things a med just can't do is setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration.
That's something a good therapist and pdoc combination might be able to help you with.
