[Be...] Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Hi, I took lorazepam for 5 days at a low dose (approximately .25 mg/day) after a very, very stressful life event that led to me not being able to sleep for 3 days straight. Do you guys think that I need to taper from this dose / length of use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pa...] Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 How did your taper from Valium go in 2020, did you experience symptoms and is the first time you've used benzo's again since that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms before and its the first time I've used them since 2020. I hope to never use them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stop it now you'll probably know fairly soon if you're going to experience symptoms and if you do you could do a rapid taper but hopefully you won't have to.

I'm planning on just quitting and hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
