Long story short I had someone helping me taper off rc-benzos with their Ativan. That person experienced total brain death in their sleep sometime Sunday morning(her birthday
) most likely due to a prescribed dose of oxy combined with a bad case of sleep apnea(sorry for the sob story, on to the details...). I had been stabilized at 1.5mgs for at least two weeks. During the 3 days my relative was hooked up to a ventilator l only took .5mgs a day and had planned to tough the rest out and hope for the best. Turns out her boyfriend was thinking about me and saved back like 15mgs. I took it pretty hard when we finally pulled the plug today and dosed 4mgs throughout the day. How bad is this going to set me back? Am I able to drop down to 1mg tomorrow without the risk of a seizure? Or do I need to do something like 3mg tomorrow, 2 the next and then 1mg? I figure the risk of a seizure should be low but need to make sure as I almost died from a grand mal last summer when I tried to drop off of 3mgs. That one terrible seizure seems to have lowered my threshold in general. Thanks for any help.
