It means the serotonin pathways in your mind (brain), is not adequate by itself and you need external ssris to maintain the same. There are many with long term anxiety disorder, under psychiatrist supervision and advise you need to continue the anxiety medications for a much much longer time. Good luck.

You should try non pharmacological methods- yoga, pranayam, meditation and psychological therapies like cbt, along with medications and then reduce the medicines as per your doctor's advice.
