Poop out is normal but it is easily dealt with by increasing the dose. You may need to up the dose of any antidepressant 2 or 3 times.
As for your other question, if you have always been depressed for no apparent reason, then there is a good chance that you have a chemical imbalance. In that case, which is probably the most common case with depressed people, you will probably need antidepressants your entire life.
However, if your depression is due to trauma, you may be able to eventually discontinue antidepressants.
