Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: Dec 5, 2023 | Replies (272)Comment receiving replies
I have been taking benzodiazapines for 18 years. I started taking Ativan today. I have three 1 mg Clonezapam and two 1 mg lorazepam leftover and my new prescription, no refills of .05 mg, 60 day supply. Any suggestions of how to taper from Clonazepam and Lorezapam to 1/2 Ativan (ameprazeam). This is it for me. I am moving to another state in 2 weeks and do not want to have to find a doctor to convince and beg for any benzos. I want my life back.

I think you’re going to have to find a new doctor. Eighteen years is a long time on Benzos. You’re going to need a really long taper plan. You don’t have enough meds left to do a proper taper, also you need to switch to diazepam. Don’t mess around with this.
