Has anyone else ever taken Ativan. I have been on it since April daily, but a very low dose. I am currently taking .5mg in the morning and .25mg at noon. I did taper off of it once a few weeks ago, but my NP wanted me to stay on it until I gained my weight back. (I had lost about 20 pounds because of the anxiety/panic disorder). I have gained about 5 pounds back now. I am told by the psychiatrist and my NP that this is a very low dose and I should have no withdrawal/rebound when I do end up tapering off of it again. But I am scared. Has anybody been on this for this long? I want to trust what the doctors are saying. I never could handle the SSRI's, that 's why I am on the ativan for now.
