Brief Answer: Addiction would be hard to come by at this dose! Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this anxiety disorder. At this dosage and duration, addiction would not set in anytime soon. It would require a longer duration to get addicted at this dose. You would most likely need to take this medication for a long duration for better control of your anxiety. Thinking of stopping right now is too early. Talk to your doctor about this and hear what his plans are. However, when it come to getting off this medication, avoid stopping abruptly to prevent withdrawal symptoms. Taper off progressively over weeks to months before finally quitting. I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health. Dr. Ditah, MD.
