Stopping antidepressants suddenly and prematurely against medical advise can lead to early relapses. It is definitely a good idea to revisit your doctor for a full evaluation and treatment options

It's not advisable to stop psychotropic medications suddenly and without doctors advice. It's a good idea to take a fresh consultation so that a proper assessment is done. Psychiatric diagnoses aren't stable over time so it makes it all very important to get reassessed so that a future plan of management is decided.

Hello,
You should not have stopped the medicine suddenly.
Better take the medication as usual and consult your treating doctor.
