I’ve taken Ativan for 20 years and it works for me, of course I tried many other drugs but it never worked as well. I reduced my dose to 0.5 mg. a few months ago which was half of my usual dose, I used medicinal cannabis to supplement my medication and so far it’s been good, I don’t want to recommend it because cannabis can be very difficult to predict the effects and for some people it’s not helpful, I suppose it’s just like any other drug and not knowing how it will affect you, I also realize that it’s not legal everywhere, I’m not in the USA, I don’t really want to stop taking Ativan but I’m worried about my doctor retiring this year and getting someone else who won’t help me.
