Find a life coach/therapist will teach you stress management skills. Otherwise withdrawing meds may be a bad idea.

Your best long-term success with emotional symptoms would involve cognitive-behavioral therapy. Would also recommend practicing meditation and doing regular aerobic exercise. Avoid medication taper until these activities are ongoing and providing benefits.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
