Are you pro or against meds?

Hi everyone, I’m a 22 (F) diagnosed with GAD and ADD. I’ve been against medications for the longest time. I would not take my meds throughout high school or college because I was afraid for superficial reasons like gaining weight or breaking out (which are still important to me but I feel like I have a better coping mechanisms now like a good skincare routine and exercise routine etc.) I

I still managed to pass college with good grades. However, during this time, I was only not doing so well in my personal relationships with family, friends, and my bf. I would have bouts of anger, get frustrated easily and it would take my all to get the energy to make it through normal life and do daily tasks. 

I’ve recently started working and am now taking counseling and meds. However, I’m not used to medications and I feel like even the slightest dose affects me. I guess what I’m asking is, if I’ve made it this far, is it possible to continue without meds or should I try them and forget about gaining weight or breaking or the other side effects that I always seem to have?

For reference, the doc has prescribed me adderall and busiporine for anxiety. I also take hydroxiZine at night to fall asleep as I’ve always struggled with falling/staying asleep.

I’m feeling really lost and just want some advice or even just people that can relate/share their experiences with different medications.
