It's not clear why you started taking the medication or why you stopped. I can't tell if the effects you're describing are from TAKING the medication or from STOPPING it.

If you're IN therapy and slowly returning to being depressed, with worsening symptoms, then there may be a problem with your therapy. I became progressively more depressed with the bad therapy that I had a long time ago, and started taking medication, but it was because the therapy was making things worse for me.

yeah probably the first reason is Therapy going nog well.Like i am not getting the Change from therapy,so my belief system got affected..
I am now on new therapy and believing that i will be able to open up myself this time..

Some medications take time to build up in the system. And some side effects can show up right away and then taper to nothing, or start after a few days then get better.

Side Effect Example: My outside child started on a medication. Day one was fine. Day two was fine. Day three he had a severe headache and other symptoms. Day 4 the side effects were less. By day 5 they were gone... somewhere around day 11 i think, he forgot his meds, and took them the next day. That day he had a terrible headache and had to lay down in the counselor's office at school for about half an hour. Then he was fine again. I we firmly believe the headache that day was a side effect from not taking his meds the day before and then starting them again, as he had recently been put on a slightly higher dose and his body didn't like the sudden change of stopping and then the sudden change of starting the higher dose again the next day).

Also, sometimes people start meds, then they feel better and think "I'm all better, I don't need meds anymore!" and stop taking them without talking to their doctor, and then all the bad symptoms start coming back again.

My advice would be to talk to the T about it, and to the doctor who prescribed the meds. Only they can tell you if stopping them was a good idea or explain about the side effects.
