Hi everyon, I suffer from both depression & anxiety have been on meds for 3 yrs and I recently decided to get off 3 of the 5 medications I was talking only staying on Xanax & Ambien because I can't sleep without that at all no matter how much I try, Well the 1st few days off my meds I was feeling good everything was well controlled...but as it almost reaches a month every day it seems to get harder to cope with just the every day activities..so I want to ask if I should keep on going off my meds eventually this symptoms will pass or should I get back on my meds... something I really don't want to do any more???..

Hi it can be difficult to tell can't it! The golden rule seems to be to wait until you have felt better for at least 6 months then wean off them very slowly under a doctors guidance. If you aren't doing this then it could be worthwhile to have a chat with your doctor.
This could be withdrawal symptoms or it could be just that you are coming off them too soon and your symptoms are returning.
I hope you find some solution. x
