I wanted to suggest you perhaps speak to your doctor regarding taking a medication with a longer half-life and see if s/he would recommend a longer half-life. Supposedly they make withdrawal symptoms easier.
Here are some half-life times for you.

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors

DRUG……….HALF-LIFE
Paxil………24 hours hours
Lexapro..27 to 32 hours
Celexa…..36 hours
Prozac……..4-6 days

Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors

Effexor……..3-5 hours
Cymbalta….12 hours
Pristiq………..12 hours

Dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor

Wellbutrin……21 hours

The problem, I believe is that people have a different idea of what slow is and don't take into account their dose, age, sex, time on the drug etc.
I also think exercise and a healthy diet are important.

Best of luck,
Jake
