@happytoseeyou I didn’t keep an accurate calendar, so maybe it was a little longer than a month. I didn’t stick to the whole two weeks sometimes and sometimes I went a couple days longer.. no .625 mg is not very accurate and I didn’t do that for more than a few days. I really think you’re overthinking this.. and my doctor said it was OK to go from .75 to .5 and then to .25 and then be done. I think I went through three days of four hours of sleep, but then it got better from there and I actually felt better on the smaller amount of sleep with less Ativan.

@berekann Ok, thanks very much and I'm sorry about overthinking it, just very fearful when it comes to meds, and this type, this process, etc, and am normally the one who helps others that overthink stuff! lol...Glad to hear your doctor said it was ok, and totally get it about feeling better on less sleep with less Ativan.
