How did you successfully taper off of 0.5 lorazepam (Ativan)?

I tried Xanax years ago but I no longer take it because my psychiatrist wanted me off benzodiazepines a long time ago and I don’t remember any withdrawal symptoms. But I was put on SSRI’s and I guess that helped. I am on seroquel for sleep 150 mg at bedtime. It works good.
But I’ve been put on 1 mg of klonopin at 4:00 pm.

150 mg of Wellbutrin in the morning with a 0.5 tab of klonopin. I’m feeling ok but I fall asleep during the day but I’m seeing my psychiatrist next week and I plan on asking him for advice.
I completed a GeneSight Genetic Analysis and it will be at my psychiatrist before I get there so we’ll see what happens.

I think that discussions about any benzodiazepine taper are helpful as they are similar drugs. I hope so anyway.

my doctor has me on 100mg quetiapine, 1mg lorazapam and 7.5 mg ambien to sleep. I notice that at night that I don't get tired anymore and need to take these meds to get 5hrs sleep. Has anyone else had this issue? I really want advice on how to get off this stuff and a reason my body doesn't get tired at night so I styart yawning

Has anyone gone cold turkey to get off this stuff? I would like to see what would happen going cold turkey for several days

I have. Please don't do it. Talk to your doctor.

Going cold turkey off psych meds is dangerous. You need medical guidance and to do it very slowly.

Seizures can happen. Especially with clonazepam.

I’ve gone cold turkey off ATIVAN multiple,times, but I never abused it. I only ever took 1mg per day. Stopping was easy, only withdrawal symptom is insomnia.

Could anyone specifically address the topic of weaning off of .5 of Ativan. A family member is on a number (too many) sleep meds, and wants to stop Ativan. What would be a reasonable approach if one was on for just about a year or so, initially taking 1mg, but now taking only .5 for a few months. Much online seems to only address higher doses...Can someone comment on perhaps going from .5 to .375 to .25 to .125 to stop make sense with at least a week between changes if no withdrawal is experienced. I'll ask another related question in another post, but any guidance appreciated.

Attached the the weaning schedule I followed. It was much slower than doctors recommended. I have been successfully off it since June. For the record, I’m not a medical professional, but thus worked for me. Good luck!!
