Research abstracts I've read and other posts in psycho-babble recommend that if you've had a long history of depression, or if you've had a lot of previous medication failures or relapses in treating depression, stay on your current effective meds indefinitely.
My psyMD told me last month about her patient who was doing good on Prozac, went off Prozac and when the depression returned months later, the Prozac was no longer helpful.
