Hi There,

I've been taking:

0.5mg Lorazepam at night for about 8 weeks

I told my doc I would like to come off, and she said that because it was only 0.5mg once a day for 2 months, I could just stop. Bad idea. Lead to vomiting and migraine :(

I decided to try to drop by 1/4 of my dose every 1-2 weeks. For example:

Started: 0.5mg once a day
then: 0.375mg once a day for 1-2 weeks
then: 0.25mg once a day for 1-2 weeks
then: 0.125mg once a day for 1-2 weeks.


Has anyone done anything similar? How did it go?

She also said I could add in some Benadryl to help me sleep.
