Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Thank you for your Welcome. This is all new to me but will hopefully be a very valuable connection to have with understanding people.
The medical professional is aware I am tapering off slowly.
Depression, up and down anxiety, extremely tired, extreme headache, can’t get out of bed.
Last night I slept for a few hours for the first time. Usually I wake after 2 hours of sleep.
I sleep with a fan on me which helps.
I seem to be more confused and overwhelmed these past days after being down to 3mg a day for a month.

No Lorazepam does not come in liquid form, the Diazepam does. Read on line Ashton Manual on Benzos.org, this is the best advice you will get and it works.

Yea! Sleep is just a dream, you are headed in the right direction. I have said before, getting off Benzodiazepines is not for Sissy's. You seem to have good support and you must remember, RESEARCH, RESEARCH, and slowly taper.

Thank you for your comment.
I feel so sick, hearing from you helps.

I am on the minimum dose of Lorazapram for about 3 months now but have no problem with it. Sometimes when I wake up during the night, I find it hard to fall back to sleep. I do a crossword puzzle and when my eyes start to pinch I can go back to sleep. I also found if I keep busy during the day and get some exercise I seem to sleep better.

I was on alprazolam to sleep. But then the doctor wouldn't prescribe it any longer. Now I take a half of a trazadone (that's miniscule) a Dramamine, 5 mg. melatonin, an Aleve (for my bones that get sore when I sleep) and a CBD gummy. I take 20 mg celexa and nephedipine for anxiety and high blood pressure during the day. Two nights ago, I had a really fitful sleep, so unlike how I usually sleep! I was really puzzled. Then when I got up, I saw my medicine cup full of my nighttime pills still sitting next to my computer. In that way, I learned that those pills at night aren't a placebo. They really work and I sleep about 9 hours a night.. I'm 80 years old.

good for you! Our bodies were made to MOVE and physical activity helps us to sleep, handle stress more effectively, and even helps with arthritis pain. Exercise was a KEY component for me in reducing and eliminating anxiety meds.

Hi Marena,
I had a nervous breakdown (panic attacks) in February of this year. They initially put me on 0.5mg Ativan twice a day and Buspar. Later it was changed to 1 mg Ativan twice (2mg) and 50mg Pristiq per day. So I am taking 2mg Ativan now for about 3 months. Do you think I can safely taper off ? the Pristiq seems to be working well and my anxiety and depression is somewhat controlled now. But I am scared of the Ativan and it makes me very sleepy in the daytime. I have to work, sole earner for the family. God help me. Please help me , and tell me what I can do. Have I already taken too much ?

I am in the process of trying to taper off very slowly. Right now on .5 mg only at night to help with sleep but now cut that in half. Feel that this med has made my anxiety worsen so want to get off of it but have been on it for years.

Congratulations. I am inspired by your taper. I am done to 1 mg of Valium, medication in the benzodiazepine "family," at night for sleep. reading that you can sleep on .5 mg of lorazepam and even cutting that in half, lifted my spirits this morning as I have hope. I just went down to 1 mg and not sleeping well. Thank you for sharing.
