Prolonged use can cause addiction. Avoid sudden stopping. Taper the dose about half every 15 days.

Hi lybrate-user,
the issues you are facing are not relevant to neurology. It's in your best interest if you consult a psychiatrist in person and discuss regarding possibility of anxiety or depressive disorder. He/she will probably prescribe you some antidepressant medicine which the neurologist might not think of.
