Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I'm not sure why you were previously prescribed these medication, why they were stopped or why you restarted them again. However, I would suggest that it is always better to take psychiatric medication only under the advise and monitoring of a doctor.
So, please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation so that he would be able to advise you which medication is appropriate and necessary for you. If you are not inclined towards taking medication, There are also effective psychological therapies which can help control your symptoms.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
