Hello,Welcome to the HCM.
I have gone through your history ,it seems that you have been taking multiple medicines on and off.If these medicines are stopped and started haphazrdly they can cause very harmfull psycological symptoms.
My opinion would be get checked by a professional counselar or psycologist and discuss further .As withdrawal symptoms may also need some counselling and other group of antipsycotics or antidepressants according to your doctor's suggestion.
