Consult: You are wise to be concerned. You are probably past the point of experiencing "discontinuation" symptoms, but you may experience a return of the symptoms that it treated. If you do, then you can remind yourself that resuming treatment, even if it takes some time, is likely to help. But you will need a doctor to prescribe it, and, really, to judge how likely a return of symptoms might be.
