If you feel better without the pills great......maybe you didn't need them. I do, and so do many people I know.

So I don't think theyv'e seriously damaged you in any way despite the general sneer everyone like to give to "anti-depressents." It makes me laugh to think that drugging yourself with marijuana is somehow "better" than drugging yourself with anything else.....like maybe an important chemical (seratonin) in your brain causing depression which Prozac and those like it help regulate. It's your body so you get to play doctor all you want.......just be careful taking all the other "doctor" advice so freely handed out here.
People think cannabis is better because of the lack of most of the side effects, and it's not physically addicting. SSRI's are horrible for you but yes they do help some people. More power to you! Whatever helps, do it.
In my experience it takes about a month to start to feel "normal" again...whatever that is...just make sure you can handle your issues without the meds, or you'll be back on them soon enough. good luck. Oh and cannabis will most likely help with the withdrawals you will be having soon, if you haven't already.
