Hi


[St...]

Recommended Posts

Thirty years on Ativan. Started at 1 mg up to 10 or more until June. I started a taper and am down to 7 mg. Holding steady. My largest dose is taken at bedtime...5 mg. I am trying to get off the day dose and only take my sleep dose. I know my fight will begin when I decrease the sleep dose. My plan is to get down to sleep dose until I retire in 4 years. I know I will not be able to work without sleep.

Just not sure when to make the next decrease. On 7 mg for 6 months now. Planning to drop 1/2 mg of Christmas break. Is that too much of a cut?
