My doctor says I can taper off my ativan. I have been taking .25mg in the morning and .25mg at noon. I have done this before, and then because of my weight being so low, went back on it. My weight is good now. Has anyone else done this? a pharmacist told me I was on a low dose and shouldn't have any bad reaction from this, though I do know that my anxiety may increase some. He suggested stopping the noon dose for a few days and then stop the am dose. Any suggestions? I'm scared of having withdrawal even though the doctor has assured me that I am on a low enough dose that that would not happen.
