i had really bad anxiety in high school. when i was around 18 i had constant panic attacks. i was put on medication. it's possible your doctor feels that the medication is no longer necessary if your teen was on the medication long enough. also if your teen is trying new things to relieve their anxieties such as art music exercise. your teen needs a healthy way to relieve anxiety. therapy can help too. i would talk to your teen though to make sure it wasn't what they wanted. maybe your teen feels they don't need it and wants to be taken off the meds?
my teen has anxiety which is controlled by medication but dr wants to take him off the medication. why? is this safe? . my son was having hallucinations and was given antipsychotic meds 18 mos ago. 8 mos ago he was dx with anxiety and rx anxiety meds. he hasn't had hallucinations since. 2 months ago dr stopped antipsych meds. he is currently taking anxiety meds. hes doing very well and still no hallucinations. dr wants to lower dose of anxiety meds til he is no longer on med. his anixety was so severe it caused hallucinations. is it possible for a teen to outgrow anxiety to the point no med is necessary?
