Dear, depression is usually treated with a combination of medicines. Psychotherapy, meditation and life style changes. Out of which you are already having good medicines. I will help you with the other three methods. Once you master the other three methods, slowly you can taper the medicines, on your psychiatrist's advise. In a span of one year you will be able to stop the medicine completely because, by then you sould have learned how to manage your depression. Please post a private question to me with every detail. Take care.
