I had some kind of depression and problems with my nerves and take medicines Abilify and Zalasta.
Brief Answer:
Imbalance of neurotransmitters may occur
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for clarifying.
Depression occurs due to imbalance in the level of neurotransmitters. These medicines attempt to restabilize the balance. If you stop taking them, the balance will again be lost and the problem may aggravate even further.
