Hi All, I took 1mg Ativan for 5 weeks every night for sleep, then started taper 2 weeks ago, have been at .75mg , had significant withdrawl symptoms mostly the first week, and am supposed to cut to .50mg now. I've had 3 very bad episodes of dizziness that lasted a couple of minutes, the most recent one was today where I really thought I was going to pass out and all have taken me a couple hours to feel ok again, and actually, today, I still don't after several hours. Have telehealth appt with Nurse Practitioner tomorrow. Afraid to go to .50mg. Any input is appreciated. I want off of this asap, but with this happening, should I stay at .75mg longer or ask to cut pills further to go to .625mg or something? Also, getting extremely little sleep and increased my magnesium glycinate last night from 240mg to 360mg, is that safe? It helped me last night, but not sure if too much? I have not started any sleep med yet as afraid of side effects, etc, along with taper withdrawl, etc,.. was hoping to get through this with magnesium as opposed to adding Trazadone or Mirtazapine, etc, and don't know how I'll react to those. Thanks very much in advance for your help.
