I took one and a half mg daily for seven years. 1 milligram at bedtime a half a milligram in the morning.
Monitor your behavior be aware of any abnormal changes. I understand your need admittedly are used again when my father was dying.
Don’t forget, while being a caregiver to be mindful of that with your physical and mental health. Don’t become complacent in being numb.

I don’t think it would be wise to even consider tapering your med while being the caregiver for your husband . If your doctor is on board why don’t you just continue?

When I first started having severe anxiety, I was prescribed Lexapro as well as Xanax at bedtime. Later the Xanax was switched to Klonopin. I took 1mg at bedtime and never increased the dose. At the time, I feel these drugs were necessary for me to function. In time, I have learned other ways to cope with anxiety. I have not been on an antidepressant since 2014, and I don't want to revisit them. At the time, they were needed. When these drugs were prescribed, doctors had no problems with them but over time, that changed. First it was opiates, now benzos. Seldom prescribed now and strongly regulated. Most doctors seem to want us off them. I would suggest you try not to worry about the medication as it just increases your anxiety. Hopefully you have a psychologist to work with and someone to manage your medications.

Awesome sso sorry for your husband's cancer. I have been on psych drugs for 40+ yrs. My brain is probably fried too. I am on zoloft too. I think it doesn't help but I have taken so many different drugs over the years that nothing seems to work. I feel like I am totally wiped out. Let's pray we both get relief
