Anxiety problem
I am suffering from anxiety and under treatment under clinical psychiatrist taking Nexito 10 mg from past one year, when I started feeling better and want to stop this medicine, doctor suggested me to b reduce it to 7.5mg Then 5 mg and then stop. But after reducing it to 7.5 mg I started feeling some shaking sensation in my body and able to hear my heart beat . Then doctor suggested to go back to 10 mg , now I am feeling much much better.
My query is how long I have to take this and when I can stop this, if I stop this will I again get any symptoms?

Start behavior therapy and non pharmacological therapy like breathing exercise, mediation etc along with medication to control anxiety symptoms.
Slowly you will get control over anxiety and can stop medication. Till that continue your treatment and strictly follow instructions of your psychiatrist.

Hello,
If you are feeling completely better for quite some time you can discuss with your treating psychiatrist about decreasing the dose. The withdrawal symptoms are expected for initial few days... Later u will feel better hopefully.
