Psychiatric med withdrawal is a b***h...just like anything, it will cause rebound symptoms. Do nooot get off your meds alone. Find a new doctor and tell them how you feel! Please!!

Personally, I would look up your medication, and see if there’s any insight on how to properly get off of it. Most meds should be weened
