  5. I was taking Nexito 20 mg, Arip 5 MT, and Parkins for depression. I stopped them in September, but now I feel mentally disturbed, keep overthinking, and cannot sleep. Is it okay to restart the medicines after stopping them for three months?

Abruptly stopping these medications may result in the recurrence of sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. After a three-month break, do not resume on your own; dosages may need to be adjusted. To safely resume or adjust treatment in light of your present symptoms, please consult a psychiatrist.
