Has anybody successfully tapered off of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Is it possible to have withdrawal after using .25-.5 mg 4-5 times a week for sleep for a month or so? I can't tell if what's happening to me now is a symptom of the ativan or HRT. My psychiatrist said the dosage is so low to start and the time frame wasn't long I shouldn't have a problem stopping it, but I'm not so sure about that. How do you even taper off .25mg???

I just quit cold turkey without telling my psychiatrist. Not a great idea but it worked for me. 0.5 of klonopin in the morning and 1 mg at 4:00 pm. Both are benzodiazepines and when I quit one benzodiazepine he gave me another so I’m still on it and I hear it’s very difficult to quit klonopin.
I found that out the hard
way. I tried unsuccessfully to get off the klonopin. It was a nightmare!
