Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Do you mean that if your doctor puts you on diazepam, while you are still trying to get off of lorazepam, that it will help you get off of lorazepam faster?
I'm just trying to understand, I'm desperate to stop taking Ativan.

No, not faster @halloweengirl78. Valium comes in much lower doses so that the taper can be done more easily. If you will look up the Ashton Manual online. Just type in Ashton Manual and save It as a PDF. It is Free and the whole thing will make a lot of sense.
Knowledge is power.
The Ashton Method is over 90% effective and virtually painless BUT it is very very slow. I think if you read a bit of the manual, and save it, you will feel much better.
I know I did.
