Ativan Tolerance - Need Help


[No...]

Recommended Posts

Hello Buddies,

I am on 2mg of Ativan.  I take 1mg twice a day.  I am noticing that it is not working like it is suppose to and I am going into tolerance withdrawal.  My question is would it be better to crossover to Klonopin and taper from there?  Any thoughts?

There really is no 'right' answer as to what is the best benzo to taper from.  I encourage you to read The Ashton Manual section on this matter since it contains helpful information regarding switching benzos.  Dr. Ashton seems to favor tapering from a long-acting benzo but she suggests diazepam.  That said, many members if not most of them seem to taper from whatever benzo they had been taking including Ativan and Xanax.

Your signature says you are on Klonopin so it looks like you need to update things there??
