Hi dear,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.
Anxiety in life needs treatment course.
Stopping medication in between and having them on your wish is against normal safe practice.
Please don't underestimate your GP's efficiency.
Time and again it has been proven that medicines alone cannot cure depression.
Yoga and meditation can help you in regaining body metabolism and streamlining the mind.
Psychotherapy can streamline your lifestyle.
Both together will strengthen your body and mind to overcome difficulties.
Wish you speedy recovery.
