Unlikely: Would depend to some extent how long you have been taking it. The main thing i would expect would be some rebound anxiety and insomnia. It is always best to taper, but once you are down to 0.5 mg you could either drop down to 1/2 of a 0.5 mg pill for a few days and then d/c. Make sure you discuss your plan with your prescribing doc.

Unlikely have withdr: while you may not have withdrawal symptoms, you may have a return of the anxiety for which you are taking it. Make sure to do the weaning with doctors oversite.

Please see your Psychiatrist for an evaluation of your medication. If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist please see another for a second opinion
