I had a friend I did the same drug with him as you do back when... when I finally decided to stop, I was basically okay shortly after.
For him, though...well, I got the impression he was having a hard time adjusting. It took him a while, and even though I lost touch, when I last heard of him, he'd been doing pretty good. But apparently he'd had *alot* of stuff to work through (I can relate now, I'm going throughj that later in life than he...now, in fact).
I'd say if you really feel you need to do something like that, talk to a doctor, but set a date when you'll absolutely stop using the anti-depressant. If you're still having trouble after that... well, you can cross that brdge when you come to it.
But I'm finding it's more of an attitude adjustment thing than a medication thing. A learning to change how you view the world.
I should look him up... we used to ride together until I had my big wipe out. He was very hard-core (all his buddies were bikers) and I think I've finally got my leg back to where I can support a bike again. Hopefully...
