Control of Anxiety. Withdrawal symptoms?

Mild anxiety can be treated without medication using cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation techniques. If the symptoms of anxiety are moderate or severe, medications are the primary mode of treatment. Anxiety medications typically normalize serotonin levels in the brain and are not addictive. However, the duration of anxiety treatment varies from person to person. Some people will need treatment for a few months, while others may need it for the rest of their lives. If your anxiety symptoms improve following medication treatment, the medications are gradually tapered down and discontinued so that you do not experience withdrawal symptoms. However, if anxiety symptoms recur while tapering down, it indicates that the medications are not working optimally and should be increased to the previous levels that controlled the anxiety. Good luck!
