The time to take medication for anxiety disorders needs to be stabilized after 3-6 months before the issue of dose reduction can be considered. In general, taking benzodiazepines, such as lorazepam, oxazepam or taking selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors, such as paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, citalopram, etc., these drugs take about 4 weeks to have a significant effect and 8 weeks of medication It takes about 8 weeks to stabilize the disease. If the condition is stable, the symptoms are basically eliminated, and the anxiety symptoms are controlled, it is necessary to continue to maintain the drug for about 3-6 months, and if the condition has been stable for such a long period of time, only then can the problem of reducing the dosage be considered. Anxiety disorders are very prone to relapse and it is best to maintain the medication for more than 6 months overall, otherwise premature dose reduction may cause a relapse.
