Twinleaf,
I took Stablon about two years ago and did not find it to be effective as a maintenance medication for depression. I noticed a definite antidepressant response (though not remission) and an increase in psychotic symptoms from the medication the first day that I took it, and it did very little after that. I stayed on Stablon for several months, and I did not notice any withdrawal effects or increase in depressive symptoms after I discontinued it.
