Usually not required, but if you have any rebound anxiety, plan for alternate day tapering

Since Toficlarm 50 mg was taken only for 1 week, tapering is not required. You can safely stop it.
If you notice any return of symptoms (anxiety, sleep issues), consult your psychiatrist.
Continuing CBT is appropriate.
