I've quit benzos cold turkey way too many times in the past. This time 'm under a doctor's care and I'm doing it the "right" way. This isnt even a bad habit I'm still a little nervous though. In July I was taking 4mg Ativan per day when I decided to quit. Since then I have been cutting back on a half mg per month. Know what I mean? In aug I was taking 3.5mg per day. Sept 3mg per day. Currently I;m taking 1.5mg and I am getting ready to drop down to 1mg. I guess in two months I'll be completely off of them. This is where I get stressed out. I probably dont have to tell anyone how horrible benzo withdrawal is.
My questions is: Onece I drop down to .5mg per day and then finally quit, will I experience any withrawl symptoms at all or will tapering off like this be completely effective?
 
I hate mj. I used to smoke it but it started giving me anxiety attacks...that's why I started taking benzos.
 
Eff... you have no easy way out. Im here livin this WITH you now!! Im luvin the Ativan (lorazepam) I have right now... but the script expires soon... and then... ALL GONE! I'll jus STOP from willpower (and lack of scripts hehe) but... I wont let it bother me. At some point... no more means NO MORE! And you accept that. What was... it was. Now it isn't. Soooo... timeto move on... :) Let us know how ur doin! :)
