3 mg Ativan

Hello! I am on 3 mg of Ativan that was prescribed for akathesia. I would like to wean off slowly and with as little side effects as possible. I read on here someone that did daily micro tapering and had minimal symptoms. Hoping to learn more about that!

Hello Orangechick11, welcome to BenzoBuddies,

 

We do have some members who are able to make small reductions who have remained quite functional, this is what we all hope for but unfortunately, it doesn’t always work this way but we’ll be glad to help you taper with this method.

 

I’ll provide some links and one of them is to the taper board, just select titration and someone will drop by to help you.

 

We’ll need some information like how long you’ve taken the drug, how often you dose, if you’ve ever tapered from benzo’s before and what size pills you have. 

 

We’re glad you’re here and hope we can help you in your goal to be benzo free.
