I’m currently trying to wean off of lorazepam 1.0 mg, last night was my first attempt at halving one tab and tonight I’ll take the full dose and so on. I might add it was a difficult night of sleep for me so good luck!

I am not one of those people that is against all meds. Sometimes meds are necessary. Sometimes it can take quite a bit of fine tuning to find the correct med and then the appropriate dosage. @kylastar & @cactuswilli have you asked the prescriber / provider for recommendations on how to wean off the med?

My doctor put me on an anti-depressent/anxiety medicine to replace it.

I'm on a cousin of Lexapro, Fluvoxamine. I can stay on the Ativan for a short time and take both. Ativan works so well for me and has for 7 years that I am not hopeful this med will help me sleep. But my old primary doc retired and these new kids that are running the show are scared to prescribe anything.

I am currently taking 2-3 mgs a day of lorazepam and have for about 7 years for anxiety caused by my bone marrow cancer diagnosis. I wish to wean myself off of this and try using CBD tincture to combat this anxiety. Has anyone done this and if so, any hints as to the best way to do this and if it works? My MD retired, and my new medical provider wants me off the lorazepam, and onto busiprone, which I do not want. My oncologist has never mentioned to me that I should get off the lorazepam.The lorazepam has worked very well for me, and I can take as needed, but I understand that busiprone must be taken everyday and is also addicting. Any experience with either busiprone or CBD tincutre?Appreciate any help on this.
