Thanks so much for the warning, and WOW, what a horrible experience you have had. Prior to this was warned that one has to taper off very gradually,, and your testimonial just reinforces that. Recently I learned that Lorazepam comes in a liquid form that makes it easier to withdraw in very tiny increments that you can measure in a dropper. Okay, so now I know what to definitely NOT do regardless of what a physician might suggest.
