I’m not familiar with

short term benzo use. I took Xanax for 25 years, I switched over to Valium and have been tapering from that. I don’t think you’ll have a problem.

You've only been on Ativan for 8 weeks at an extremely low dose. You have NOTHING to be scared of! Are you thinking you'll have to be admitted to a drug rehab facility and go through hell to get clean? Tale a deep breath rosa, at the dose you're taking and the short amount of time you've been on it, your doctor may tell you to just stop. Let her know you're scared and she may have you cut the dose by half for one week, THEN stop. But I am not a doctor and tapering off certain medications should always be done under the supervision of a doctor. Please don't be scared. You'll be fine. I promise
