Looking for help to taper off Ativan (lorazepam)

You can do this! I posted my taper from being on .5 mg Ativan for over two years. I did a VERY slow taper, (posted on another thread here) slower than doctor recommended and am happy to say I’ve been free since early June.
Best wishes!!

I am on .5 mg and taking it three times a day. It has really helped me. May I ask why you are tapering off the medicine?

What was your taper? I have been on 2 mg only at bedtime since we lost our only child to fentanyl for a year. I am down to 1 mg now but want to get off. Would love to hear how you came all the way off:

Congratulations where do we find your taper on the other thread? Thanks

Thanks for the positive encouragement. Can you please re-share that taper schedule here, and given that the lowest available dose of Ativan/Lorazepam is .5mg, how did you get it into very very small doses? Thanks.
