Ativan withdrawal and going on Lunesta

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!
