Perhaps to taper off all or most of your medication over a period of a few months?? It really could be the best option at this stage. Any rebound worsening of depression could be avoided by gradual tapering. You may be resensitised to the effects of ADs after a medication-free interval, or you may discover that you actually feel better without certain meds. At present, you appear to be tolerant to almost all medications. Although tapering off could be difficult in the short-term, if it could help you in the long-term it could be very worthwhile. You may also feel better on less medication in some ways. As an example, you might lose a lot of weight and your physical fitness may improve as a result.
