How did you successfully taper off of 0.5 lorazepam (Ativan)?

I’ve been taking 1 mg lorazepam for sleep for three weeks. Once in a while .5 mg works other times I need the whole 1 mg which I take in two doses, and even sometimes that takes an hour to work. So my hopes of tapering are diminished. I’m ready to switch back to Ambien. Any thoughts on that from anyone?

My doctor is on vacation so I saw an associate today and she is taking me off the lorazepam. She said take a half tablet again tonight and then switch to doxepin 6 mg..
If that doesn’t work, then I can discuss with my doctor next week about going back to Ambien. Wish me luck!
