I did a VERY slow wean from .5 Ativan over 6 months. Earlier, the wean recommended by my pcp was too fast. I have been off it for two years.

Thanks for this help! Did you do half the dose or skip days…curious about exactly how you did it if you have time to explain. I’ve tried just talking .25 in the am and the same in the pm and wasn’t the best feeling. I don’t expect this to be easy, but day 1 wasn’t encouraging☹️
