You won’t have to crush or make a liquid. I really feel at your low dose and the amount of time you will be taking the Ativan, you’ll discontinue easily.

Oh my that makes me feel better…..all the benzo sites scare the hell out of me! I’m going to taper off Primidone in a week, that will take a month then the Ativan.
I will have been on it 3 months then….hoping to decrease one dose at a time….it will take a bit of time. Will I still be ok?
I DO know that I cannot drive well, I feel loopy except when I’m home.

It is strongly advised to taper off a Benzodiazepine, especially Lorazepam after only a few weeks of use. It's much better to be safe than sorry, believe me. Every one is different but not worth the off chance abruptly stopping could have a terrible affect.
