Im on 0.35 of ativan at night. I was taking 0.5 mg and have tapered down to 0.35mg. I started taking 0.5 to help with a trazdone taper/ withdrawl. That was horrible. Ive been on it for 2 and half months. I only take for help with sleep. What kinda of symptoms should I expect on such a low dose? Scared after the trazdo e to go lower

I’ve been taking Ativan for over 20 years, I somehow managed to stop in the early days and now it’s a different thing. I take 0.5mg. daily and haven’t tried to reduce any more at this point, I wish to stay on them because they work for me, I don’t respond well to antidepressants and have tried many to no avail. I read that you’re taking 0.35 mg. and you want to know what to expect at this point in time, it’s very difficult to say because they effect everyone differently, even though you’re dosage is low it’s still in your system and affecting you without really feeling anything, I’m sure you will feel it if you stop taking them. I think that if you decide to stop taking them then you must still go very slowly to do so, there’s lots of people who have managed to get off Ativan so it’s hopeful to do so, best wishes.
