If he has been taking it with little or no side effects I would say to keep on it, especially if it has been successful. It is safe for long time use.
I would however, have his MD or caregiver continually evaluate the use of this medicine and all of his other medicines very regularly

This is a great drug for treating depression and can be used for long-term treatment. As long as a doctor sees him for occasional review of his medications and is aware that he continues to take it, there shouldn't be any problem.

The FDA approved it for long term use and there's no age restrictions. I'd say he's good to go.
