Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Before I even found this place, I had started trying to get off of Ativan, and I had been on it since like 2000.
I keep feeling like I can't concentrate or focus on anything. I can't rest well at night, I am constantly rethinking every decision I've ever made in my life. I'm so figity.
It's really freaking me out.
I have a new PCP, but the first new patient appointment that I could get is for the 11th, and I'm not sure I can make it till the 11th as far as not having a nervous breakdown or something!
Can anyone help me in anyway?
I had been on 1mg, 3 X's a day for all these years, and now I'm trying to take one right before bed. But not sure if that's right or not.

I feel exactly like you. I don’t know how I make it through each day. After 5 days I had to stop the Effexor as it was causing me to constantly ruminate about things that happened more than 25 years ago. I have headaches every day and I am very shaky on my feet. I have a hard time eating. I stupidly weaned off Effexor after 25 years but have not been able to restart due to terrible side effects. There are no decent hospitals to get help here in Arizona. They only have lock down facilities.
Hope you get an appointment soon.
