Woohoo!
Bleuberry - Bullseye.
Man, you come up with good stuff.
One of the reasons some people breakthrough their medications or relapse after drug discontinuation is that there is too much negative and not enough positive conscious experience. If one reduces psychosocial stress, there will be a greater chance to avoid poop-out or otherwise relapse. There is definite physiological data to support this.
To accomplish the dimunition of psychosocial stress, psychotherapy is usually a good way to accomplish this.
OF COURSE, the most well-adjusted of people who experience the least psychosocial stress can still suffer antidepressant poop-out and relapse. It is the nature of the beast.

That kind of retraining will bolster your neurochemical pathways and the med so it may never ever poop out.
