Ativan withdrawal and going on Lunesta

Blessings.
I have seen a sleep doctor who had prescribed Lunesta 2mg a night. So far it is working. Also she told me to get with a psychologist to do CBT-i therapy.
I also ordered some books that will help.
You will get this. Praying for you tonight

I am recovering from head injury after 7 months. I was taking Ativan. .5. now Tring to taper off. And wondering what withdrawal symptoms to expect.

My dosage is only .5 for the doctor says that should be bad I'm a bit shaky but it should be gone in 2 to 3 days my problem then is what do I do if I start getting anxious again lol I'm on an antidepressant too which I'm not going to go off

It will be helpful for you that you’re taking an antidepressant and also being on a very low dose for a short time. It’s still advisable to go very slowly with reducing your dose and getting a tapering schedule is also important, you can get it from your doctor or even online.

@frouke
Thanks I actually talked to my pharmacist and got some help it should only take a week or two if this dosage

@margaretallen Try to go by how you feel, if you’re getting anxiety enough to disturb your day then slow down and reduce your dose a little more. A pharmacist knows drugs but they can’t determine how you’re going to feel.

Thanks yes I'm taking it slowly. So far so good
