I have the same question as Kara Lynne -- I mentioned this in my more detailed response to your earlier post, but I'll ask again. Is it really a problem that you're taking psychiatric meds? I'm not sure which country you're talking about, but if it's the U.S., I just went through this recently, and they had no particular interest in what prescriptions I was taking for psychiatric conditions. The main thing the doctor had to certify (along these lines) was that I wasn't "insane", and since I said I wasn't on the questionaire, he did. There was no drug screen, although they did ask about use of illegal drugs.
The big concern seemed to be transmissible diseases, which makes sense. ADs and benzos are so commonplace that I'd be surprised if it were an issue. Of course, I'm no immigration expert, and it may vary among countries, but it seems unfortunate (and possibly even risky) to deny yourself proper treatment unless you know that this could threaten your immigration status.
