[te...] Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 As you know you help me with this liquid , I know you are very busy so I will refresh your memory . I take a 0.5 mg of Ativan and use 1 ml of vodka to dissolve it then add 49 ml of water . I make a new batch every day . I have done well until I got to 22 mls I split that into 3 doses each day I was dropping every other day by 0.03 and then I got stuck here at 22mls for 3 weeks symptoms are no sleep and anxiety Any suggestions ? Should I drop by less. Or should I just keep going ? Any suggestions would be helpful . Thank you Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 During even the most well-planned and careful taper, you can have some sxs. And they may not even be benzo or taper related. But I would certainly do a short hold (5-7 days) and if no improvement, an updose back to to last comfortable dose. Then you might want to restart your taper a slightly slower pace. (Just FYI, this is the exact procedure I followed at the one time I began to experience more than slight sxs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep issues are an almost universal sxs during withdrawal, and unless its overwhelming, I would try address it with a sleep aid, and move forward with my taper.
