The gradual tapering shall be good under direct supervision of a physician,who may assess your depression level.
IBS is anxiety related in absence of negative investigations.
Since you know the cause only you can reason out to avoid your depression in positive thinking and gradually disengaging from drug dependency, a lot depends on the will to fight and overcome all causes of depression ,mostly it is hidden fear of something, job stress etc.
Anti-anxiety is some times continued as it lowers serotonin levels in brain tissue and some individuals have higher secretions endogenously and prolonged high levels produce symptoms
