The decision related to discontinue medication can be taken only after consulting a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist only. Feeling good some time and bad sometime only shows that you still have some mood fluctuations. Whether this fluctuation can be diagnosed for depression can be decided only by a trained professional. However Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a very effective method to manage depression if you want to stop taking medicines. Consult a clinical psychologist who id trained in CBT if you are really motivated to stop medicines.

You should not leave allopathic medicines mainly because you are habitual to it. You may talk to your psychiatrist regarding weaning off or tapering of the medicines. It should take atleast a year to gradually stop the medicines. You should alsopractice psychotherapy techniques to help you manage depression.

Before leaving it just think twice. Because suddenly leaving such medicines will cause harm.Instead start homoeopathic medicines.Which will help you to overcome your depression as well as help you to leave your medicines also.
