Good day how long should a person take anxiety pills ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 1 yr: Most Anti-anxiety meds take up to 4-6 weeks to begin to see symptom relief. I would recommend not stopping them for at least a year. Under psychologist supervision, the anxiety meds can then be tapered/stopped to see if the condition has improved. Many people will have to take them for much longer as the symptoms will reoccur. Different meds may show different side effects, so switching may help
