Anyway, there is a small chance that your SSRI hs stopped working and you may have to either augment it with another med (probably a benzo) or switch the med with something else.
There is however a chance that the dosage decreaese is to blame because you may have a sensitive metabolism. A long time ago I lowered my dosage of a med from an alternating 100/150 mg per night dosage to just 100mg. I was fine for about a year until I suffered my first real panic attack. Six months after that I suffered from some other bizarre symptoms. In all, it took me about a year and a half before I made the connection to a decrease in dosage. I felt normal again as soon as I went back up. Roughly a small 25mg made a gigantic difference.
You'll be incredibly lucky if that's the case. I don't think there's a single member of this community benifitting from only one medication (except one who apparently doesn't take anything, at least not pharmaceutical). Please don't take that for granted!
