These drugs are important for your treatment and recovery. Instead of stopping on your own you should have consulted the doctor and described the side effects.

Cognitive dysfunction can possibly be attributed to both: your illness, as well as the medications you are taking. It is however essential that you take the medication as prescribed by your psychiatrist. Do not modify, alter, stop or change any medications on your own. The best thing would be to approach your treating doctor with this problem so that they can make any changes (if required) in your prescription.

Dear user. I can understand. You are HEALTH ANXIOUS, it seems. Hypochondriasis is an Obsession with the idea of having a serious but undiagnosed medical condition. Health anxiety is not a serious mental disorder but without proper treatment the person affected could be depressed and continuously engaged in negative thoughts. I suggest online counseling, cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relaxation therapy. Take care.

You should try Psychotherapy along with Medication. Medication is going to have some or the other side effect but that can be handled by the Psychological therapy and guidance by Psychologist. Create a balance between the both and you would find a harmony within. You can contact me for Psychotherapy options.
