Talk to Psychiatry on Frequent Freezing Episodes

Assalam u Alaikum doctors I hope you are doing well.

I wanted to ask something regarding my condition. I was in severe depression and anxiety last year, but now I am completely fine and stable. However, one symptom has not gone away.

Sometimes while doing normal activities like brushing my teeth or riding my bike, I suddenly freeze for a few seconds as if my brain shuts down. Then I slowly start losing balance, and when I lose balance, I return to normal again. It usually lasts for 5 to 10 seconds. This happens almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day.

Last year, it was more severe. I even felt paralyzed and couldn’t signal my hand to pick up a book or pen, but that doesn’t happen now.

Now my depression and anxiety are gone, but this one symptom is still there. What could this be? I used to think it was daydreaming or zoning out, but now I feel it’s something else.

For reference, I have been taking Fluoxetine 20mg for the past 10 months and I took Risperidone 0.5mg for 6 m
