Brief Answer:
Neurological conditions to consider further.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
First of all, besides to leave the culprit to the depression or anxiety, any neurological condition that may cause such symptoms, should be evaluated further.
Increased intracranial pressure for example, is a possibility in your case.
In my opinion, a brain MRI is necessary for a correct understanding of your condition.
Stopping antidepressants suddenly also may exacerbate the symptoms.
Discuss with your Neurologist for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
