Hi.. Abrupt stoppage of medicine is not how things work. Do check with your treating consultant before making a decision to have a hassle free outcome

Hi it is good that you are well. Learn CBT skills. If possible get a book called mind over mood by Pedesky and read. Website called moodjuice is also good. In the meantime continue Medication, Consult a Psychiatrist and make a plan

You ll have to discuss with your Psychiatrist about this. Also, when Major changes are about to happen, it's not wise to stop medications. Plz discuss with your Psychiatrist and then take a call. Medicines have to be gradually tapered and stopped always.
