Dear User,Thanks for using health care magic.From the available description it appears that you are either suffering with antidepressant withdrawal syndrome or you had recurrence of problem for which you were taking these medications. The first thing you need to do is start the same medicine with prescription from your physician and than plan for slow withdrawal of antidepressants which will minimize the risk of discontinuation syndrome.'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".Thanks
