yes, this is my first depressive episode.
My therapist and I agreed it was situational, a life transition and my mind's way of saying "this isn't working, we're not happy". Because of that my Doctor and therapist felt I did not need to stay on the drug in maintenance mode, once I had several positive months I should come off of it. My doctor originally told me the typical course for someone in my situation would be 6-12 months.
Now that I'm feeling better and I've made the changes I needed to make my life more fulfilling emotionally/physically/intellectually etc. it's time to get off the drugs.
