She said she is having tolerance problems. 1.5 mg lorazepam is a very small dosage. Tapering in 3 weeks off 1.5 mg can be done without a great deal of side effects according to the data I have read.

The longer you take, the safer you will be. What's wrong with starting say 2 wks cut 1/4 off the 1.5MG. Wait 2 wks to see how you feel, then do 1/4 less again. This way you can always go up 1/4 for 2 more weeks. SLOW IS THE WAY TO GO, AND DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENTLY. You could even do 3 weeks for each cut because of the low dose of Lorazepam you are taking now. This keeps you in control and less stress and worry.
