Migraines? That is one I never heard before.Thank you for the reply. I guess everyone is different but for me I have to taper slowly with my lorazepam. I wish my Dr would switch me to Valium. I have heard that is best for tapering.
Over a period of a year I have cut down from 1 mg lorazepam a day to .25 mg a day. So I'm still not done and I have had a few concerning symptoms so I'm just keeping it slow.
I'm actually upset my Dr ever started me on this. Of all things it was for migraines. So unnecessary. Now I have to get off before he retires or decides to stop prescribing it. It is worrisome at my age.
Good luck with your taper. Go slowly if you are cutting back the Valium.
There are so many meds for migraines, but lorazepam or any benzo for them is something I never heard of.
When you see your doctor and are ready for a small decrease, see if he will prescibe 2mg Valiums.
They are the weakest and are, according to the chart; are equivalent to .20mg of Ativan( lorazepam)
I have always heard what you said about Valium, being best for tapering.
Good luck, benzos are a nightmare and only schedule 4.
