How did you successfully taper off of 0.5 lorazepam (Ativan)?

I've had problems sleeping since turned 60 but
can't understand why. Did not need meds until then,
but anything that helps is welcome.
Did not know that insomnia is a side effect of
tapering off some meds.

Yes, when I reduced my morning lorazepam from .5 to .25 I had insomnia and then looked online and realized a slower 5 to 10% taper every 2 to 4 weeks is better. Also excercising helps. I take 300 mg of Gabenpentin and 150 mg of Trazadone to sleep at night. Exercise can help dramatically and no naping.
