I’ve been on lorazepam for 20 years I was on 128 pills a month now on 60 it’s taken years to do this I was trying 3 pills a month but my blood pressure started bouncing to high. And am currently stabilizing to 1 mg daily and tapper 1 pill a month for me this is only way to tapper since I’ve been on it so long I’m under doctors care it’s not a one size fits all drug it’s how your own body responds to tapper it has to be slow my son stopped suddenly off benzodiazepines and had seizures so I’m trying slow and steady I’m proud of how far I come but still need to be vigilant about getting off I hope this helps.
