I've gone 2-3 years at or close enough to baseline I did not feel like any thing was wrong, I know when it's time to get help. I always go off meds when I feel better. Why not enjoy normal with no meds for as long as you can? I've actually gone 5 years once. Tho usually it's every other year or off and on. This has been going on since at least 1987 for me. I can't tell you how many times I thought they were wrong or I was cured. It is easier remembering the depression
