I'd have a chat with your doc and see what they recommend. If you haven't already maybe get some labs done to make sure your vitamins are balanced.

Oh heavens no. Depression meds are not something to be played with. I would never change a med or stop a med without my doctors orders first

Consult with your doctor. Depression meds are not jelly beans.

my doctor has me on a vitamin d supplement as well as antidepressants. That might be something that helps you as well

Definitely check with your doctor before you start taking anything else, but I would definitely try taking vitamin d supplements, especially in winter or gloomier, darker months. Low vitamin d can absolutely make depression worse.

Hmm I would say no only because it can take a bit for the medication to start working. Do you feel different with each season that you would want to change it?
