Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

The symptoms you are experiencing is due to relapse of depression due to stopping the antidepressant medications (Bupropion and Zoloft).
You need to restart the antidepressants to help with the symptoms. You can start with Bupropion SR 150 mg once daily, If symptoms persist after two weeks, then he dosage can be increased to Bupropion Sr 150 mg twice daily. It can take upto 6 weeks to complete resolution of symptoms. If you develop any suicidal thoughts. please follow up with the emergency room immediately.

Hope this answers your question
