Do not stop any sort of ssri abruptly.any med that you have to sort of taper onto,you have to taper off of.since these drugs DO affect the chemicals in the brain,you could suffer from some sort of WDs when you just stop with no actual taper.you could also suffer siezures.i would talk with your doc before doing anything.It is all up to you actually whether or not you can go off.you are the one who can tell whther or not you feel that you are doing better,no one else.i would try dropping down to a lower level of the med and stay there for a while and then kind of evaluate how you are feeling.If you feel okay after like maybe two weeks at this level,then drop down a bit more and so on.If at any time,you feel that you may need to stay on it as the depression feels like it is not under control,you can always taper back up to a level that feels comfortable for you.do you know what I mean?just do not stop it cold turkey.see how it goes by just taking things slowly.K? good luck and i hope this has passed for you.i went thru the same thing after the birth of both my boys.it hit after a few months and lasted about six months.then I was fine.strange how that will just pop in out of like no where.But in most cases,it just passes on its own and things go back to normal once all those flippin hormones get their act together again.Good luck,Marcia
