Yes I have discussed this with my doctor. He feels sure my unsteadiness and coordination is benzo related. I’m in the process of tapering. My doctor believes in very slooooow tapers. I hate the unsteadiness and was just wandering how these meds affected others on this site.

How did you taper?
I’ve been on Ativan for 8 weeks and want off and am so scared.
You are lucky your Doctor believes in a slow taper. Please make sure with your Pharmacist that the drug your Doctor tapers you with if he changes you to a longer half life like Clonazepam or Diazepam is equal to your current milligrams. My Psychiatrist switched me from 6MG Lorazepam to .5MG Clonazepam, it should have been 3MG CLONAZEPAM. I have suffered untold problems because of the incorrect tapering dose I took for 9 months. This is a problem many sites warn you about.

@sears , I've never experienced un steadiness on Benzos. In fact, Clonazapam really helps my muscle spasms & unsteadiness.
