Thank you so much for your suggestions and input! So i did do some research on the ashtons manual after yesterday’s experience. I was convinced my body had entered fullblown withdrawls because the panic was so intense and it was somehow coupled with this dark sense of impending doom and depression which i dont typically suffer from. Not sure if it was withdrawals or rebound anxiety or what?! That was 25 hours ago. I havent used anything since and my plan is not too. I have had minor bouts of anxiety throughout the day but been able to redirect my thinking thus far. Made it to the gym this morning which i imagine can only help throughout this process— i go 5-6 times a week and will be CRUSHED if physical symptoms from stopping this crap deter me from making it. My thought process behind not tapering is that i wasnt a daily user (albeit the past 9 days) .. and given the low dose i was hoping i could get away with just stopping. Am i crazy for thinking this is possible? Im open to cutting in half and tapering if absolutely necessary but havent felt that necessity today (yet) fingers crossed

I can relate to what you’re saying, you can try it out and see if you can cope, I agree that it’s been a very short time that you have taken them and not on a regular basis. If you do feel uncomfortable then you can get something mild to help you through it, only you can really determine what to do because it’s your body, also it takes Ativan two weeks of consistent usage to get dependent on them and you didn’t take them every day, best wishes and good luck.
