I had gad and doctor suggested stalopam 10. I am seeing the symptoms of fear are subsiding, but thoughts are not holding. I still avoid things to be done on time and feel I am going into escapism which is impacting being productive in my work and not focused. Also I do not want to be medicine dependent forever.

It would be better if you could explain why you are avoiding work, out of what fear that is. And the medicine will take around 3 to 4 weeks to work fully. In case it's been long, I advise you follow up with your psychiatrist. You might need an augmentation with another medicine or an increase in dose. You can also seek psychotherapy to help you deal with unwanted thoughts.
