Hi
I appreciate that you reach out with your concern
To effectively address anxiety, it's important to consider both medication and psychotherapy. Medication can help address chemical imbalances in the brain, while therapy focuses on changing negative thinking patterns. This combined approach typically spans 8-9 months to achieve lasting results.

Take for the prescribed duration and consult your treating psychiatrist again, depending in the improvement he will adjust the dose and give. This is not an antibiotic to have set duration of treatment. The duration depends on biological, psychological and sociological factors and it may be as short as 1 month to as long as life time. Good luck.

You need regular follow up with psychiatrist, as all these will not be continued for long term but 1 or 2 medicines you might need to take for 6-8 months
