Same here. Actually, I tapered off my antidepressant a couple of months ago, but I crashed soon thereafter. So I'm back on it right now, and gradually making changes which will hopefully enable me to heal my depression for good.

If anyone is into books, I recommend "My Recovery Plan: A Personal Plan for Healing" by Charles Whitfield. The author outlines a basic plan for healing depression that is based on the 12 step program. His theory is that some forms of depression are rooted in unresolved trauma and a loss of spirituality. I think that anyone who has benefitted from the Steps may find the books written by this author quite useful.
