Hi,
Yes, you are right missing these drugs can cause many symptoms including yours.
There is two way we can move ahead. If you are other wise fine, then you may stop the drug very slowly.
Like don't miss doses, rather start reducing the dose. Like 75 once, then Make it 50 at. Night for 2 weeks then 40 and hence gradually reducing the dose to finish.
Another way is if you still suffer from the symptoms of anxiety, you may gradually switch to other drugs like SSRiz. Be guided by your psychiatrist in this regards. Feel free to write back to us if you have any concern.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
