Dear user you have a long history of anxiety. You are taking medicines but you didn't try counseling sessions. With medicines you need proper counseling and then we will taper you medicines accordingly. I don't know what are the circumstances under which you are taking medicines, I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. You need counseling session for a better control on this disorder and medicines. Medicines are not the only solution, do not make it a habit fir future, counseling is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourself from the side effects of medicines. Please call and discuss your problem in detail and then ill be able to help you better. My contact no is mobile.

Hi, probably your sleep cycle now is dependent on the tablet and therefore you are not getting sleep if you don’t take the tablet. You can try reducing the dose to have a taking half the tablet and trying to sleep. Alternatively you can also try taking melatonin and sleeping after it.

If the lack of sleep is due to anxiety the medicine will help. On stopping if the anxiety symptoms are still there, sleep disturbance recurs, which means you have to continue treatment with a psychiatrist. Good luck.

I think you should visit your doctor for a review. It appears like your anxiety and depression may still be there in a milder form. I also suggest that you seek the help of a counselor too and develop some skills and techniques to deal with your emotions and over thinking.
