[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor ! I have gone through your question and from my clinical experience I can say that you appear to have recurrent depressive disorder. In past, you used to keep good with slalom plus, and slalom 5.  Had I been treating you, I would advise that you should start with slalom once again along with some clonazepam 0.5 mg for some time to help you sleep. Later, after may be two weeks or so, you may stop clonazepam and continue with slalom. You may need to increase slalom up to 15 - 20 mg to get a sufficient response this time as there had been a major stressful life event, death of close one. The death, along with the sudden stopping of medicine had precipitated this current episode in your case. All these symptoms of lack of interest, feeling low, lack of energy signify depression. You can start the medicine but try to get in touch with your psychiatrist for long term benefit. Hope you get well soon! Feel free to ask more question.
