    What is a safe and effective method to stop taking anxiety medication? I can not afford the physical affects of the stress but the addiction to the medication is not safe either. Thank you for advice.

      Look into medications that treat anxiety and are not addictive. Hydroxyzine, for example.

      You should definitely tell your dr that you want to get off and have them tell you how. YES. they are addicting...in fact, I believe that drs are soon going to be required to explain that to you before you start on them and have you sign that you understand the warnings. But they are very difficult to get off of. After you are off, look into amino acid help. Perhaps a book by Trudy Scott would be helpful. But do not mix aminos with the drugs you are on. Good luck.

      You should talk to your doctor before you stop taking prescribed drugs. Always. When taken under medical care those drugs are not addictive. What makes you think they are?
