I don't think the doctors told him to go off of them. I think he quit taking them while going through treatment and never went back. I will say all of his current behavior is the same as when he was on the anti depressants so that's why I say, I don't know if they were worthwhile or not. His motto in life is: I won't change as long as there is a pill for that. He has actually said those words despite many medical issues over the years.

I just have to survive! He's not going to wake up.

Thanks to all for listening. You have truly been carrying me along so many times.
