I don’t know if you remember but I took Xanax( much stronger and more potent than Ativan) for 25 years. Up to 3 mgs. (a lot ) per day. I was 67 when I started tapering. I know this sounds cliche, but I swear if I can taper off you can. If I were you I’d start right now trying to find a doctor that will help you taper looooooong and sloooow. In today’s climate don’t count on finding another doctor to continue your prescription. Please don’t wait until some doctor wants to do an unreasonably short taper or even cut you off entirely. Your life depends on this. ❤️ Please remember that no doctor will put his license in jeopardy because you’re 73.

I totally agree with you, I remember you saying this to me a while back and it really hit home. I have been trying to taper my dose for some time now and it’s going slow but steady, I’m definitely not confident yet that I have it under control but I do feel better than before. I haven’t looked for anyone else yet but I’m still doing the work on my own for now. Hopefully I’ll get lucky with the new doctor and my dose will be lower so perhaps we can work something out, if this option doesn’t come up then I’ll try to find someone who will help me. I sincerely hope that I will be successful in doing this, I might not even like the new doctor but finding a doctor here is next to impossible, over one million people in this city haven’t got a doctor and they are using the hospital to get help.
