Discontinuation of anti depressants
So I had been visiting the Psychiatrist for depression treatment for last one year and just got off my meds couple of days back as suggested by doctor. My sleep has reduced and getting nausea, headache and dizziness sometimes(once for a millisecond or something) since last couple of days. Am I facing discontinuation symptoms?

Some medicines might cause withdrawal symptoms if discontinued suddenly without a proper tapering of dose. You could wait for a few more days if not severe or re-consult your doctor and if needed re-start medicines and then discontinue more slowly.
However such symptoms might be a part of relapse of depression as well. So rather than doing anything yourself, consult a psychiatrist for better response.
Therapy might be helpful only if these symptoms are a part of relapse of depression but still you might need medicines along with depending upon severity of symptoms.

That could be true. Another thing is that you need therapy with medication. I would suggest you to seek help from a clinical psychologist for the same.
