HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I would like to say you that you can not stop taking the drug suddenly or at once but you can only stop the drug when you are asymptomatic not having any anxiety and depression.
What ever the symptoms you have may not be due to medicines but it can be due to the anxiety alone, try to come out of this, be positive and practical if you want to really stop the medicine, try some exercise, hope this information helps, take care.
