Like any disease, there are alternative treatments. Some people will do well with them, many won't. If after talking to a doc you want to start with psychotherapy and hold off on meds, do it. But don't rule it out as a possibility for later.
I understand if you are concerned about side effects. But with some work and some trial and error, almost everyone can find a med regimen. One that controls your symptoms, but doesn't have excessive or intolerable side effects.
Good luck.
