Hi
The duration of treatment depends upon many factors like duration of illness, how you responded with medicine and how much you improved , any ongoing stress etc.
Usually the minimum duration for treatment for anxiety disorder is atleast one year.
If you are symptom free for last few months then you can ask your doctor to taper off the medicine, if still having some symptoms then it is advisable that you continue the medication.
Thanks and regards

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. Just be aware that medicine are just one part of any psychic treatments like yours and they help in suppressing the emotions. You still need to work on managing your thoughts and emotions which is the root cause for anxiety. So better adopt few non medicine treatment plan like psychotherapies, self behavioral therapies along with regular counseling to see quick improvement. Feel free to reach me online to understand the next steps and non medicine solution that you can follow practically to overcome this problem. Be positive. You will be alright soon.
