I'd suggest solving the problem first, then getting off the antidepressant.

When you get anxious, BREATHE! In my experience, I hold my breath when I am anxious. When I do deep breathing, I control my anxiety better. Also, go to a good therapist that will ask you tough questions about why you feel so bad about yourself. Finally, challenge your thoughts. Write your negative thoughts down, then write reasons why they are not true. Carry it around you and read it when you get anxious -- or buy the Paraliminal "Belief" CD. It would do basically the same thing and change your thoughts to more positive ones.
