Thank you. Just wanted to let you know that you it wasn’t my PCP who wanted me off Ativan. I’d heard so many negative stories about it I thought I too needed off of it. It’s not like I’m in my 30’s or 40’s. I won’t be on it for many years.
I am really considering getting back on it at maybe a .25 mg once a day.
Will be speaking with PCP

I have been on Ativan .5mg 3X a day for 2yrs. I suffered for years with debilitating panic/anxiety. I don't like having to take it to feel like I have control but I have tried many other meds and this one works!
I'm 56yrs old, I worry about long term use but my quality of life is so much better now.
You mentioned you're 82, I would ask was your quality of life better with the Ativan? If your answer is yes, I think going back to the Ativan would be reasonable, you were on such a low dose.
I wish you the best, be well!
