I have been on Ativan for 28 years now I am on .5mg one day and haf of that the next. I'm really getting scared about tapering more. Any encouraging words?

I was put on 1mg of ativan a day back in 1995 when I was hospitalized for anxiety and depression.
My Dr told me
a few years ago that they have found it can cause cognitive problems (which I have been having) A couple years ago I tapered to
.5mg a day. I am trying to taper off. I would love any support I can get.
