Head feels like it’s on a boat

I didn’t take my meds for two days and I feel like this omg… it feels like that for a second then it goes away, then comes back.
I hope this goes away soon! I felt fine enough to where I didn’t wanna take them. So today I just took one to make this go away.
Has happened to you?

I haven't stopped medicine yet but I was told you have to taper off of antidepressants/anxiety meds slowly. Rather than stopping all together, reduce the amount you take gradually (even to the point where you cut dosages in half) and then stop taking them.

Oh saw you took one,you should feel better soon then :)
I’m planning to restart tablets but I’m petrified because I haven’t had any in 2 years x

It’s most likely withdrawals from the medication. I know you may have felt good enough to not take it but that is most likely because the medications were doing their job. Please please please consult with your doctor if you want to stop medications as there is an appropriate way to do so and not following that can be very dangerous for some people.
