Panic Disorder and Depression

Hi, I've been on Sertraline and clonazepam for the last 17 years as I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Depression. Four months ago I weaned myself off of Sertraline. For a couple of months I was floating in heaven but then dreadful panic attacks returned after 17 years. Now my psychiatrist has doubled the dose of both Sertraline and clonazepam, i.e. Sertraline 200 mg and Clonazepam 2 mg at night and 1 mg in the morning as soon I wake up.

So once again my panic attacks have subsided but I am not that happy and motivated when I had quit Sertraline altogether for a couple of months.

Why did you stop the Sertraline? Were you having side-effects? Sometimes withdrawal can be delayed.

Actually I was ok without Sertraline for almost three months. Without Sertraline I was extremely motivated ,happy, optimistic, and for the first time in years I felt that I had become my true self. But then panic attacks, depersonalization and anxiety made me see the psychiatrist again who prescribed a double dose of my previous one.
