Lately I feel like my depression has been getting better little by little although it seems like I have the occasional day that is really dark.

I have had depression for over a year and have been taking medication for 10 months now. I began to take the meds to give me an edge in the battle against depression, not to "cure" my depression. Honestly that little edge the pills have given me has saved my life. But as I am getting closer and closer to feeling like ME again I have had a lot of anxiety. What if I relapse when I stop taking the medication? What if I'm not strong enough to be happy on my own? Will my happiness forever depend on taking little blue and white pills every morning?

While speaking with my T, she assures me that I will be able to stop taking them eventually. Eventually is such an ambiguous word to me. I figured it would be helpful to get some feedback on here from people who have "weened their depression" so to speak from medication. What was it like? How long did it take?
