Hi ~ I would NOT wean off any antidepressant. Since you've been struggling with depression for a long time, it's possible you have clinical depression, so I'd STAY on the antidepressants. I also have clinical depression and I MUST stay on antidepressants or else I'd be in the pits of HE$$ in a heartbeat. I just cannot function without them. It's possible you're the same way.
So must some advice -- don't get off them. Why suffer when you don't need to?? Why go thru these bouts of depression when you don't have to? It's miserable when you do. The ups and downs are awful. Stay on an even keel and keep taking them. Your life will be so much nicer. Talk to your doc about it.
Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
