Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Early onset depression (less than 35 years of age) and that too of 14 years duration is not the ideal condition to taper off antidepressants. Only in typical depression that starts after a known stressor is episodic or lasts only 6 to 9 months when left untreated, is a trial of antidepressant taper taken. You can follow yoga, meditation, exercise, pursuing a hobby or a serotonin-rich diet to encourage serotonin production in your brain and so that you may be taken off medicines. My advice would be not to stop antidepressants completely, rather come to a lower dose and maintain it for life.
