I stopped taking my anxiety medication.

[Bdan]

Hello guys , I haven't been on here in a while because lately everything had been going great with my anxiety. So great that I had made the decision to stop taking the medication, I haven't taken the medication in 5 months , but I now feel that my anxiety is coming back , I am doing the same thing that I was doing before the medication like having trouble sleeping . I was wondering should I start back taking the medication? Because the tension headaches and everything are starting to come back .

Have you tried other things like exercise, relaxation techniques, art etc etc?

Only you can decide to go back to your medication or not.

Yes. I've tried relaxation techniques, but it doesn't seem to help much.

Try other things, keep yourself busy as much as you can, I exercise and draw and it helps me big time, you just need to find things to focus on that will stop you from over thinking to much.

Hope things do get better for you.

Umm. . . You found a medicine that keeps your anxiety in check and you stopped taking it because everything has been going great with your anxiety. . . Have you read the posts of all the folks who are on here suffering because they do not get relief from medication or can't take it because of side effects?. . . I was absent that day at medical school but if you find a medicine that works don't stop taking it. . . . . . .
