“How long should I take medications for anxiety?”

That is an answer best addressed with your doctor. Never stop medications without proper consultation from a professional. It may be helpful to begin decreasing the dosage first to determine if you are able to manage anxiety using other methods. It may be helpful to consult with a therapist to determine the best course of behaviorally managing anxiety if you and your doctor feel you no longer need medication.

Without knowing you or your personal history I cannot say. Please speak with your prescriber about your concerns.
