Dear lybrate-user yes it might be because of that. Don’t give a break to medication unless you discuss with the doctor who prescribed them to you. Take care and Get well soon.

Since you are already on medication I suggest you talk to your treating Psychiatrist and convey your current symptoms to them. It is possible that some changes in medication dosages will help improve the symptoms. As they are familiar with your history it is always better to have a discussion with them regarding this situation.

5 years means persistent depression (long term depression), so most likely life long treatment. Prepare your mind for this. It is like treating diabetes or hypertension, so don't worry. But meet your psychiatrist regularly and don't take these over the counter/ self medication, as they need monitoring and regular blood testing to find if there are any untoward effects. All the best.

It is ill-advised to do anything with regulating your medication without the doctor's recommendation. However, I am of the opinion that you seek the help of a counselor and develop some skills and techniques to counter the anxiety and ocd.

The behavior will then become based on magical thinking and ...more

You can be helped by cognitive behavioural therapy if drugs are not working.
Take regular sessions with some psychologist if you can otherwise you can also go for self cbt .it takes 6 to 8 months to be normal if you put sincere and persistent effort.
