Can I Discontinue Serequel And Wellbutrin Prozac For Anxiety And Depression?

I am currently taking serequel.wellbutrin Prozac and Xanax. I want to stop taking them. I feel more anxious and sad and I have no desire to do anything outside work. I had an episode of anxienty and the depression in 2008.i have been on several different prescriptions and have been on the above for about 9 months. I have good insurance but the office they referred to me last year is very inconstant with the staff everytime I go there is someone diferent I find it hard to communicate my personal feelings with just anyone. should I quit the meds all at once or ween myself off?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You are four different drugs. In that case, if you try to stop them abruptly, your anxiety and depressive symptoms would increase. You should stop them gradually one by one. You did not mention the dose. Even these drug is on high doses, then gradually taper them off. In case you need further help, you can consult us.

Thanks
