Shivering and sleep problems
I have been on depression medication for 8 months. I got off the medicine as family forced me to. I have been struggling since years. The last few months have been very difficult. I have been seeing things again, like hallucinations. I'm not able to control feelings and sleep is difficult. My head keeps twitching and shivering very often, I'm not sure why. What should I do

Don’t listen to family. Listen to your psychiatrist. Take your family for counselling on the need to continue treatment. Is needed let them meet 2-3 psychiatrists before finally getting an idea.

Suddenly discontinuing medication can lead to the symptoms youre having. Family psychoeducation is also important. Medications are helpful and should be continued for as long as treating doctor advises.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
Since you have the history of depression, I recommend you to consult therapist sooner and also consider psychometric test to find out the root cause and working on it. Tailored strategies to your specific needs with professional psychologist will help you.
Meanwhile, you may practice some energizing pranayamas like Bhastrika and Kapalbhati for instant energy first thing in the morning. Also talk to people you are close with, socialize more, try journaling, go for walks and start exercising or join Yoga classes.
Next Steps
For therapy and psychometric tests, you can book an appointment with Rupali Mohbe/BIRDY ME at Practo
