Diagnosed With Moderate Anxiety, Mood Swings, Feeling Agitated And Nervous. Was On Buspar And Antidepressants. What Is The Reason?

I was on buspar for 5 weeks at 2x15mg for diagnosed moderate anxiety.The first 3 wks were great with my anxiety very minimal.On the 4th week I started experiencing periods of intense feelings of being down that would last for at least an hour.I woke up one night completey nervous and feeling out of sorts.I had to get up.I decided to quit cold turkey and that was a week ago.The last 2 days I have been nervous and feel agitated.Are these withdrawals as I thought there were no withdrawals or should I be on an anti depressant.Totally confused.
