I have been 1mg Ativan 3times a day for over 20 years. My doctor and i decided I needed a change. She switched me to.5 Xanax 3 times a day. Direct switch. After a bad time with Xanax she switched me back to Ativan after two weeks. I’m having a hard time. Could I be having withdrawal symptoms

@lakesofdelray I would think so. I’ve been on low dose Ativan for years but everything I’ve read says never stop without tapering. The sudden switch to Xanax seems unwise. I would question your doctor’s decision and try to get a second opinion.
