Thanks, I have refills to get me through mid-October so should probably start the taper soon as in TODAY. I do feel my anxiety has calmed down after being diagnosed with cancer--I'm used to it now and am in the home stretch of treatment. I will check out the group you suggested.

@scottbeammeup I’m not on any of those anxiety medications but I am on anxiety medication (citalopram) - which I have been on for years, and which has been so helpful during cancer especially coping with panic attacks when treatment stopped and I was no longer going into the infusion centre fortnightly.

I have full trust in my GP and we have at times worked together to wean me off gradually, to put me back on gradually and at one stage post becoming NED to increase my dose before working on lowering it.

I hope like myself you have a good GP who will assist you - rather than you dealing with such a major health issue by yourself.
