Check out the Ashton Manual for more information on tapering off benzodiazepines. I think the sooner you can get off them the better, our bodies develop a really strong dependence on them over time. There are a couple of other threads on this topic if you are up for looking around.

I hope it goes without saying, but I will - always consult with a medical professional when tapering. Don’t just go cold Turkey. If you don’t like your current doctor keep looking!! Good luck and best wishes!!

Hope by now you’re off lorazepam. I was on .5 mg for over two years. Started when diagnosed with cancer then stayed on it for sleep. Benzo sites were so scary and tried to get off it but taper was too fast and sleep was awful.
With help of sleep medicine Dr am doing a slow taper and should finally be off early June.
