Everything I read about benzos has made me want to go off them. Wreaks havoc with your brain. I have been taking .5 mg of lorazepam for over two years, originally prescribed due to acute anxiety for a cancer diagnosis. Then relied on it to sleep. Stopped working for sleep and my doctor wanted me off it. His weaning protocol was too abrupt so I’m taking it very slowly. I’m now down to .125 at night and should be off it by May.
