It's a very good thing that you are reaching out now instead of waiting until later because time is very important. To begin with, you mentioned being on them for one year and you're on 0.5 mg. in the morning and the same at night. Your dose is very low and I'm truly hopeful you will conquer this if you act now. To begin you must ask you doctor to prescribe a antidepressant for you, there are ones that can really help you cope with the withdrawal. Once you have found the right med you can start a tapering process, some people have had great success with the Ashton Manuals which you can find online. The main point here is time, you are acting early and so I'm very optimistic about your recovery, good luck.
