Hi the-Australian, good to meet you. WIthdrawing from any medication can be hell and not something that should be done suddenly or without medical supervision. The effects of withdrawal can last quite a while and be unpredictable.
We can't advise on what drugs, if any, you should be taking, but I do strongly suggest you get to your doctor or psych as soon as you can. If you're drug-free at the moment (prescribed and illicit) then you're in a good place to begin a new treatment, whether drugs or therapy, self-care or all of the above. But you need professional assessment about what's happening at the moment.
If you want to stay drug free, tell your doctor and ask for clear info on what the possible outcome will be if you stay that way, so at least you know what to expect.
It's very important with psychiatric drugs to be well-informed on what they do, what side effects there might be and how long-term they might be. And what the possibilities are without them. Then you can make informed decisions.
It sounds like you look after yourself well with food and exercise etc. Self-care is very important, so well done. And I probably don't need to tell you but booze and other non-prescription drugs really don't help when we're unwell, and certainly not if we're taking medications. Take it easy with those hey?
Very best wishes to you, and let us know how you're going.
Kaz
