I would say taper as much as possible then stop entirely like anything else. SSRI withdrawals last a while and cause something called "brain zaps". They aren't easy to get off so a lot of people stay on them for years, but the longer you wait the worse it's going to be trying to get off. Daily medication is not the way to treat depression as eventually you will no longer get much effect from any medication be it opiates, benzos, SSRI, amphetamines, etc.
