Myself never smoke or drink alcohol in life. I was diagnosed Anxiety disorder and treated with cipralex 5 mg in 2007 for 5 years. Thereafter from 2013 to 2017 successfully. Symptom was cured 99% Hence I was not having any medicine for 4 years. Now Dr. prescribed me lorazepam 0.5 mg per day for anxiety disorder from 23rd March. Now 2 months over. Please help me with advice For quitting 0.5 mg lorazepam, Tapering is required, Is there any protocol or need of detoxification?

There is not protocol as such but what you did miss in your earlier treatment and even now is the need for counselling in tandem with medication. You again no skills from medication but in counseling you will learn particularly to handle emotions and live a meaningful life. So go and try this for some sure-fire success to wean you off of the medication in due course.
