I've been on 3mg of Lorazepam for 7 months now and everytime I see my psych he says I have to start coming off it. I saw him a couple of weeks ago and I was finally starting to feel a little bit better and somewhat level after months of hell. So he asked me to take half a tablet during the day and then my normal dose of 2mg in the evening. He said I had the option of taking the other half if I needed it. I thought this was the wrong idea as I had only been on the new med for 5 weeks and only felt ok for 10 days or so before seeing him.

I managed 5 days of taking just a half during the day but now my anxiety has spiked again and my mood has dropped and I'm terrified as I was finally feeling somewhat normal. Is there a connection? can half a tablet really make that much difference?. For the last two days I've gone back to a full tablet during the day and haven't had any improvement anxiety/mood wise.
