Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
These drugs are not known to cause breathlessness, but depression is known to cause it.
If The symptoms are still persisting , it will not be good for you to stop the medication.
If at all your doctor feels , it should be , reduced or stopped, then these drugs are to be tapered, not to be stopped as such.
Hope , this suggestion will help you.
Good luck.
