I am taking prothiaden 75 mg and lonazep 1 mg both in night for GAD. I am taking this from last 2 and half months how long it will take to taper off the medications. I am now fine with no panic attacks or any anxiety. Which one will my doctor taper 1st, I am very curious about this. I have heard that lonazep is quite addictive that's why I am fearing a little bit. Please suggest me something to minimize withdrawal effects.

The medications you are taking are usually prescribed for a minimum of 10 to 12 months and tapered off after that. You may be completely asymptomatic, but I still recommend taking the full course to remain symptom free. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user Please trust your doctor. If you are already worried about withdrawal, it will become one more reason for anxiety. You will not get addicted to these drugs. Don't worry. One more thing. Please contact a counselor for finding out the triggers for panic or anxiety. Awareness of the cause-effect relationship helps to control it early. Regards.

It will require at least 9 month. As your symptoms improves we can taper Lonazep gradually. But prothiaden need more time as it is the primary medicine. Anyway without psychiatrist advice you should not do it.
