I was taking Lorazepam. My doctor and I used the Mayo Clinic guidelines on tapering off benzos. I was switched to Valium as it is easier to taper off of than Lorazepam.

Where did you find the Mayo Clinic Tapering Benzo Guidelines? I would like to also print it out and show it to my Doctor. The thing is he once told me he thinks I should stay on this Med for the rest of my life. I am rather "scared" because I am losing my health care coverage in three weeks. My husband is on disability and he will get full coverage and he is also a Veteran, but I will have to pay out-of-pocket for my Benzo and it is 56.99 for a 30 day supply. Oh how I now wish more than anything that I had begun tapering years ago. I am "afraid" of having seizures or ending up in the hospital which is not something I can do! leah09
