Dear Selvabharathi, You need to take either therapy or any non medical methods of anxiety reduction and then attempt stopping anxit. Try to take only when anxiety symptoms interfere with your important events of life and NOT for anticipatory anxiety.

Hi, any medicine related to benzodiazepine groups is known to develop dependence and cause addiction. One may experience withdrawal symptoms on attempt to stop it which usually does not last beyond couple of days. For alternative method you can try relaxation exercises, yoga and pranayam. If it does not work then you should meet a psychiatrist in your nearby area.
