Go back on meds? Or wait it out?

I’ve been on celexa for 10+ years and then on lexapro for another 5/6 years. I tapered off from 20-10-then slowly to 0 (due to weight gain/ feeling numb/ feeling like the meds stopped working). It’s been about 5 months since I stopped but Im starting to feel depression and anxiety again. I’m debating if I should go back on some sort of medication. There are multiple forces in my life and I’m trying to differentiate between biological and circumstantial reasons for depression/ anxiety (as in am I going on meds for something that might go away if my situation changes).

In addition to going off of lexapro (which was a real pain for many months due to withdrawals) I’ve also been laid off, was dealing with a toxic work situation for a while, constantly interviewing and getting rejected in this market - things that would make many “depressed” anyway.

Cant afford therapy right now and so might have to go through hims or a similar service to get meds if I go that route.

Anyone find peace switching to something g else after lexapro?

Kind of feeling stuck so any perspectives or experiences will help.

Thanks much.
