Antidepressants For Life

[nailit]

Ive been on mirtazipine for 3 years. I was put on them after been sectioned in a psychiatric hospital. To say that they have made a difference to my quality of life would be an understatment. However, before xmas I decided to leave them off for a while and see how I managed. Within a few weeks I noticed that I started to experience the same symptoms that led to my been sectioned in the first place...sleepless nights, nightmares when I DID sleep, mood swings and I started to drink more. I resumed my medication. (yes, I know I should have consulted a doctor)
However I dont like the thought of been on psych meds for the rest of my life. Has anyone been on this medication and got off it?
Thanks for your thoughts.
