I really think that people can go on meds and then quit for good. People do it all the time. Mothers with post pardum depression sometimes have to be medicated to fix the chemicals in their brains. Then they go off and are totally fine. I was pretty depressed about 10 months ago and having pretty bad panic attacks. I am almost never depressed now and I only occasionaly have anxiety. I was up to 150 MGs of Effexor and am now back down to 37.5. I have been doing great. My doc says soon I will be off completely. It all depends on how bad your depression or anxiety was and for how long it lasted.
Good LUCK!!!! and keep a positive mind!!!!
