Wow congratulations, I am on ativan, I have been wanting off but been on them over 10 yrs. I'm scared, I did cut a 1/2 off of .5 mg and now 6 months later, I'm depressed, sick cant eat. I know I'm not taking a large dose, but I'm very sensitive to drugs and everyone is different. Do you think the depression is from the Ativan withdraw or am I maybe just depressed ????

Hello! @joylin, Chances are it's due to Ativan and you've probably built up tolerance. You need a proper taper plan. I can direct you to a great online support group. One of the main administrators, who has years of experience, could help you by making you a tailor-made taper plan. I am tapering off Ativan. I know exactly how you feel. I wish you the best of luck.

Hi, @joylin - that sounds like a very tough time with feeling depressed, sick and having trouble eating. Is your appetite way down from normal, then? Have you gotten to ask your doctor about this way you are feeling lately?
