Hi.... Starting or ending a medication has to be done under medical supervision. You can consult the same psychiatrists or another one for the same. He can change the medication or reduce the dose to avoid the side effects.
Also, consider taking psychotherapy/counselling for your concerns.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist for Medication and a Psychologist for Counselling.
CBT along with Lifestyle Guidance is required.
