I can't offhand recall if I commented on that post (it's been a busy few days), but I would have said pretty much what you just said, yourself, about your brain needing it and therefore it being PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT to take it. You won't believe, in the 25+ years I've been in one or another kind of treatment milieu, the number of people who feel ashamed of having to take meds. You are not alone! It's hard to deal with this stuff! But meds are there for a reason.
