Hi there. I am currently trying to discontinue using .5 lorazapam as well. I am doing it on my own after reading about the tapering schedule. May I ask, how long were you on it? I am going on 1.5 years now and anywhere from .5 to 1 mg. daily. I have been taking .5 mg now for several weeks.
Thank you.

Hello! I was on a "timed" dosage (.5 every 8 hours) for over a year. About 4 months ago, I noticed that I was getting that "missed dose" feeling a couple hours before schedule. My body had become addicted to the timing. So I backed off 1/2 hour, which helped kick that. Before I started the taper, I had backed off during that time, 1 1/2 hours over 3 months. In hindsight, that may have made my body's "adjustment " easier for the taper. Not bragging, but my "intelligent common sense" (thanks to my dear parents,RIP) and friends and relations like myself, and my personal incentive to get off this "junk", (started by a hospital mistake), made me do everything I could to not increase the initial dose. In other words, do absolutely everything you can to not go "backwards". (Sorry, this is not benzo "jabber", I was in radio in the 70's.)
