Considering Stopping My Meds, Need Advice

Kinda wanting to stop my meds. I feel like they help me, and I'm sure they truly do in some ways, but when I first started them, I was coming off of the DEPO shot (birth control) so my anxiety was way more than usual. I feel like I don't truly know if I needed them as much as I think I did and if I should have waited a little longer for my body to adjust to no longer taking birth control. Anyways, my main concern now is, sometimes I don't really feel like me. Like I'm living in a bubble. But I am also PMSing and I have PMDD so I don't know if everything in me is whack right now or if I should talk to my doctor about stopping my meds.

Track these symptoms for a few months. If you have regular periods, you should see if there's a pattern in these feelings and if they correlate with your cycle. Take that documentation to your doctor if you decide to ask them about changing/stopping medication
