Scared, Please help

[[Buddie]]

Hi, [...] and [...]
 I need your help. I am planning when my condition is stable  then I may consider to do the linear typing. I don't know if  it's good idea of not. Because I am taking the sublingual, it's so hard to dry cut. I may do titration schedule when the dose is getting very low.
Thank you!

My plan is
Week 1   0.5mg ×2 days.    0.75mg× 5 days
Week 2  0.5mg × 3 days.    0.75mg× 4 days
Week 3.   0.5mg ×4 days.    0.75mg× 3 days
Week 4  0.5mg × 5 days.    0.75mg× 2 days
Week 4  0.5mg × 6 days.    0.75mg× 1 days 
Week 5  I will follow same schedule alternating 0.5mg and 0.25mg until
Reduce to 0.125mg. then take 0.125 mg every other day for 1week, twice for 1week,
, once for 1 week, then jump.

We don’t typically recommend alternating doses like you have outlined, its important to keep blood serum levels constant to avoid a whiplash effect of symptoms but I like the fact that you’ve come up with a plan.

Have you designed your plan this way because of the difficulty in cutting the pills and what size did you say they were? 

If you could do us a favor it would help us help you.  Your signature should contain your medication history and any other pertinent information that is helpful, this way we can see at a glance what your situation is rather than going back through your posts.  Here are the instructions.  Add your history/signature

The tablets are very small. Each diameter is 4 mm and weight is around 30mg.

What is the dose size of your pills, .5 mg, .25 mg?

[[Buddie]]

The smallest dose is 0.5mg, 0.25mg is half. You are right, I think titration scheduleis more safe.

Are you interested in dry or liquid titration and are you going to wait until you hear back from RAAM before proceeding with your taper?

[[Buddie]]

Thank you!! I will start typing after stable. I don't know how long I will wait for the appointment

Hi, [...]
 I forgot to mention that I am also taking zopiclone in the past 3 months. From BB
I have realized that this drug is also very addictive. Since I only took short term, not every day
Can I slowly typing it. But my first priority is to typing Ativan,
 Do you know anyone who took ativan even had interdose withdrawal, they still didn't
Switch to another benzo and successful typing? I really don't want to switch to another
One to make things more complicated.
  Thank you!

Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear about the Zopiclone but I”m glad you know it needs to go too.  Yes, many members are successfully tapering Ativan but it really doesn’t matter which you taper first, it might be better to tackle the shorting acting medication, the Zopiclone.

   Thank you for replying. Since I only take zopiclone for short time, not every day, can I do quick typing?
I am planning to cut a quarter for each week, and stop. I don't know if it's ok?
   Regarding Ativan, could you please tell me what is the difference between interdose withdrawal and tolerance?Since I changed my dose 3 times per day for 4 days. I just feel a little better. If I am still unstable on currently Dose, but don't want increase anymore, what options  can I have? Can I still do typing?
.Please give me some advice. Thank you!!
