Call prescribing Dr.: Only one's prescribing doctor knows the whole story and can say how to wean off or restart psychiatric meds. That said, many people with depression and/or anxiety wean down on meds during the good times and go back up during the bad times. Usually, patients do not completely go off meds, but those with very mild, occasional symptoms can go off meds in the good times.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
