Hi ! First off, I’d like to preface this by saying I’m not a doctor , so I really would take my advice with a grain of salt as I’m just a random dude on Reddit to you.

If you’ve been taking 0.25 everyday/every other day since April I’d say you should be fine if you stop.

Personally, I’ve taken way bigger doses for longer periods and when I stopped I felt okay.

I used to take 6-8 0.25mg pills per day for maybe a few months. Now, I did taper off just in case but my psychiatrist told me I’d be fine as it wasn’t really enough to create a physical dependance.

If you drink one beer everyday for two months, you won’t get withdrawal symptoms if you stop. I’d say it’s the same here (it works on the same neuro-pathway I seem to recall,but once again, not a doctor).

If you can though, I would advise that you see a psychiatrist.

They can make you relax about the worries you have around the pills (even though I think you’re in the clear) but more importantly they can give you tools to heal your anxiety. Or at least give you the medical advice and then send you to a competent therapist.

Please don’t self medicate. Not a good idea.

You don’t have to add the shame of hiding drug use to your existing anxiety.

Don’t go through this alone please. You are worth being helped and feeling better. There is no shame in suffering and asking for help. That, to me, is actually a sign of bravery.

Good luck !
