Ativan withdrawal and going on Lunesta

I started taking lorazepam over 25 years ago and it has always worked for me, my previous long term doctor started me on them and never had any issues about it until the last number of years before he retired. I was horrified by his ruthlessness, he wanted me to stop taking lorazepam and wasn’t helpful with making it possible, instead he just reduced my pills without talking to me or trying to get help for me. I even had cancer twice and I was filled with fear but he just didn’t care. I was truly traumatized by this and it really caused me so much anxiety to be treated this way, you trust your doctor and I was his patient for 25 years but I’m still working on recovery from my experience.

@frouke that was very uncaring on his part. I have been on Ativan 40 years and my doctors have been open to my need since I am on such a small dose and it helps me with no side effects.
