I just wanted to say hello so that you know others are out there. I've had depression for a long time, but have had a lot of success with meds & therapy, though the meds seem to be critical for me. Mostly, I've been able to keep my depression in check. It's good that you found a professional you can talk to and treat you. I don't want to give you advice, but I have heard many people (including myself) stop using their meds when they feel better. I've given up on that approach, because I always ended up depressed. But talking to your doctor should help you decide what's right for you and your circumstance. Good luck!
