Hi T-H.
It is hard for me not to appreciate your sentiments and Bleuberry's both. I have been there. Who wants to be tethered to a drug? However, I choose to remain on medication and feel better rather than to try other methods and feel terrible in the interim. I have tried things like food allergy rotations, megadoses of food supplements, exercise, herbs, antibiotic therapy, and a few other things that I'm sure escape my memory. And I felt terrible.
It doesn't have to be black-or-white. Why don't you stay on a medication that helps while you investigate alternative treatments? Once you establish the alternative treatment, you can try to reduce the dosage of the drug gradually and see if the alternative treatment is adequate. The more abruptly you discontinue a drug, the greater are your chances of rebound relapse. Remaining open-minded and flexible should have value while you continue to pursue your health.
