I’ve been taking 1 mg lorazepam for sleep for three weeks. Once in a while .5 mg works other times I need the whole 1 mg which I take in two doses, and even sometimes that takes an hour to work. So my hopes of tapering are diminished. I’m ready to switch back to Ambien. Any thoughts on that from anyone?
My suggestion is to wean off slowly. Took me 6 months but I’ve been off for over two years
