My vote is to stay on the meds at the same doses and the same time of day and the same diet and everything. Don't change a thing.
Whether the recovery is a result of trauma or meds doesn't matter. What does matter is that at this time in history, those meds are part of your current biochemical makeup. Those molecules are playing a part in your current biochemistry. Take them away, and who knows what will happen. With a history of severe depression and severe instability, I vote to not rock the boat in any way shape or form. You are STABLE, do not purposely create UNSTABLE, which will happen if those molecules are removed.
At some point in the distant future maybe reconsider. But not before the year 2010. Make it a goal to feel as good as you do now all the way through 2008 and 2009. That definitely will not happen if you withdraw those meds, if for no other reason, the trauma and trials of the weaning withdrawals themselves. Don't go begging for more strain than life itself provides.
My vote: Don't change a thing.
