I'm taking depression pills for 4 years but i don't believe they are helping. can i stop taking them and see how it goes?

Talk with your Dr.: I don't recommend just stopping your medication. With some medication you can have serious withdrawal symptoms. It is best to talk to your doctor about the issue. Be honest and tell them how you are feeling. If appropriate, they can then recommend how to safely come off of the medication.
