Greetings,
Really appreciate you reaching out to experts before restarting the medication.
Kindly dont restart the medication by yourself. As the symptoms might be of depression or sometimes due to other entities which might look similar to what you know about depression .
In psychiatry there are a lot of conditions which have the same and similar symptoms.
So kindly visit or consult a psychiatrist before restarting the medication.

I think this is not the proper way....Mild depression may be treated with psychotherapy itself....And you may not need the medication.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist and let they should decide
