    some meds like this are needed always as the chemicals in the brain need them to balance.

    there are some natural anti depressants like st Johns warts that can be very effective but I wouldn't suggest just comming off your usual meds without a Dr's guidence and you can't take SJW with your usual meds so seek a Dr advise.

    Its so common for people to ditch the meds because they feel better. Then they crash and need the meds. A terrible cycle. Talk to your doctor. It sounds like the meds are not working properly and it might be a dose adjustment or you might need a different drug. People CAN come off them but the only safe way to do that is by gradual reduction under a doctors close supervision.
