Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Been taking 2mg of Ativan for about 12 years and want to quit. Been reading about the withdrawal symptoms and now afraid to get off. I just started tapering yesterday. Is it possible to get off this stuff without the suffering I have been reading about.

Why are you seeking to remove this drug? Is this per your physicians direction? If so, your doctor should be managing this. I am concerned in that I see numbers of people on this site who seem to have made a unilateral decision to wean themselves off a prescribed medication for no enunciated reason. Be careful, and get your guidance from the person who prescribed Ativan for a reason. Wishing you the best.
