I hate to be a spoil sport too, but I had a similar experience with going off medication. Twice after being depression free for a year or so, I tried going off the antidepressant I was on. I tapered very slowly but the depression returned both times once I got to a dose below therapeutic levels. I had been very optimistic that I would be able to get off the antidepressants successfully both times, but it was not to be. It took a good six weeks to return to normal after both of those times. I'm not even entertaining the notion of going drug-free anymore.
