Have you felt completely well for the 6 months you've been on the medication? It's just that it's recommended that people don't stop their medication until they've been stable and well for at least 6 months. This is because if you stop too soon you could get the depression back as the medication acts on the chemicals and neurotransmitters in the brain. If you stop too soon then the neurotransmitters haven't quite changed enough (this is a really vague explanation without looking at neuropsych text books).
