I think it varies by the individual. Docs have a tendency to hand out SSRI and other antidepressants for people who might get better w/o any treatment, might only need a short course of antidepressant treatment, or who might benefit from either non-medical treatment or a mix of medical and non-medical treatment.
I'd just advise you to taper off sloooowly and be patient with yourself. A number of websites on the net have info on how to do this and some recommend supplements to straighten out your brain chemistry and improve overall health.
Good luck!
