Wow, I am in your exact position right now. Taking ativan for a little over a year at about 1-2 mg per day. Def trying to wean off but also have the problem of adding the anti-depressant first. I already am so sleepy/no energy/weakness etc. and those anti-depressants only add to that. I just wish more than anything that I had never taken the 1st pill......afraid I am heading for rehab just to get the hell off! Good luck and let me know how it all goes for you.
