Sir thanks for your kind words. Sir I am taking medicine from 10 weeks and you have mentioned 10 yrs. And I have never taken any therapy. Sir I have decided to take paxil at least for 10 more months. Sir at present I am concerned about taking lorazepam. From last 10 days I have reduced lorazepam from 1 mg to 0.5 mg and I have no problem in sleeping and anxiety. I want to quit lorazepam as soon as possible as I don't want to get addictive. Sir please tell me how long I can take it. I doubt if I quit now as the anxiety would increase. Please reply soon.

Sir kindly take therapy from a counselor to understand the root cause of your anxiety and learn to cope with anxiety creating situations, along with medication. Gradually with better understanding and self awareness you can reduce your medication. Unless you are confident that you can deal any situation without medicines you shall not be able to completely leave them. Hence counseling along with medication is recommended. You are already showing great will power and hence I believe you shall come out of your current situation soon but clarity is required around the causes of anxiety and it's resolution. Wish you all the best.
