Is it okay that I stopped taking anxiety and depression medication a month ago?

Name: Riya Date of Birth: 10 June 1994 Place of Birth: Kolkata Time: 08:30 AM. Hi, I stopped taking my anxiety and depression medications about a month ago without consulting with my psychiatrist. I was numb emotionally, disconnected from the world, and lethargic all the time. Post-cessation, I've had sporadic panic attacks, mood swings, and insomnia but I feel more present and aware also. I'm attempting to ride it out naturally with journaling and herbal teas, but I don't know if this process is healthy or sustainable. I continue to ask myself if I've made a mistake or if this pain is just part of healing. Should I be undertaking something more formal to aid my mental health at this stage, or is it expected to get worse before it gets better?
