If I were you, I'd slowly decrease it with the help of a doctor. Apparently there's no tolerance or addiction but you never really know because everyone's different.

It can cause symptoms of psychosis with withdrawal - Lack of sleep can do this even for people that don't have problems with anxiety or psychosis.

Stay safe!
