PPD thoughts

My GP wants me to see her in January to discuss coming off antidepressants. That sounds simple enough right? 

I'm really not sure. When I was first diagnosed with postpartum depression in November 2010 I was then on antidepressants for six months. Stopped them in May 2011. In hindsight I started my steep fall into a relapse from around September 2011 but didn't make an appointment until February 2012. After trying two different antidepressants I started lofepramine again on the 1st May 2012. I'm not sure how many weeks it was before I was taking the full dose, maybe four weeks. That means January is going to be around seven months. Is that enough? I'm so worried about stopping these and then relapsing back into another round of depression. 

I mentioned to my manager that I'd probably let her know when my GP wants me to stop them. My manager was very supportive with my postpartum depression, having been there herself. I'm just started to feel so anxious/scared about stopping them. At the same time I don't want to feel like I need to depend on them either. I might see if I can have a chat with my manager because I don't know anyone else who has been there. It's something that no-one really talks about.
