My non psych doctor told me to not take my antidepressants

Visited this doctor for leg pain and we had a chat about my medication i am taking (Lexapro and Wellbutrin and vyvanne) and she just straight up told me I should stop them. She also asked me if I was in a relationship or had kids (I am 27) and I said no I am just not mentally healthy to want to be in a relationship and make the individuals life hell when I haven’t tried to “fix” myself I guess. Then she just looked at me and said to get a partner start dating and get married and u will never need the medication.

This happened 2 months ago and it’s been non stop playing in my head. Like she didn’t even ask why I am taking it but saw my file of the meds I am taking and told me to not do that. Like you don’t know my story yet you’re already making an opinion. Taking mediation is hard enough cause ik the pros and cons. But having someone like that say that to u pisses you off so bad.

Like okay some intimacy and company is gonna help me. Keep in mind I have lots of friends that I see almost every other day and live with my parents so idk has anyone ever encounter such thing and also does being in a relationship really help (ik it dosnt but I still wanna hear form actual people and not some old women who has no clue what life is like in this time and age for adults)
