Would you get on anti-depressants to save your marriage?

I'm bi-polar and apparently have PTSD, but I don't believe in anti-depressants. I used to take them when I was younger (Paxil, Zoloft, stuff like that) and I never felt right when I was on them. I would rather just accept my natural self and try to do what I can to be a better person without drugs. My husband says he's tired of my crazy mood swings because sometimes I'll get mean and hurt his feelings. He is pushing for me to get on meds. I know I can't be such a biotch to my husband all the time, I can see it's wearing him down, but then again, the antidepressants turn me into a caffeinated cheerleader. I want to do the right thing for my family, I have twin two year old boys to think about.

What would you do in this situation?
