Actually, I always heard that, for a first depressive episode, one should stay on the meds at least six months post remission. For subsequent episodes, at least two years, so your pdoc is saying the same thing I have heard since the mid-80s when I first went on an antidepressant.
Of course, it's possible that small reductions in some of the meds might help, but it might also upset the applecart -- and that really isn't what you want.
Good luck.
