Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Psych put me on ambien 5 and Ativan .25 three x/day 7 weeks ago.
Never talked to me about how long, side effects, etc 🥺
My depression and anxiety are thru the roof worrying about it.
Now I’m reading very scary things about Benzo’s!
Please help
I’m also on Primidone a barbiturate for essential tremor and see that they should not have been added to it.
Hoping to get off Primidone after the Ativan and ambien taper.
Please help

@rosa66, it sounds like you've got a lot of changes happening at one. I encourage you to work with your doctor to find the right combination that works for your anxiety and depression and doesn't make things worse worrying about side effects.
