[Aw...] Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Hi all, I have been on Ativan for 4 years, 1mg 3x/day. I do not want to be on any medication anymore, so I am looking to taper. I understand the consequences of tapering too quickly, but I’m wondering if anyone has cut down the number of doses per week and then decreased doses? I have gone 2-3 days without taking any Ativan and had basically no withdrawal symptoms besides a resting tremor, is that common? Also, has anyone had luck with propanolol for withdrawal symptoms?

[Ka...] Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Keeping a steady blood level of benzo in your system makes tapering more comfortable. My concern is that over time dropping a dose may catch up with you. Do you have a limited number of pills so that dropping a dose is necessary? This is the thread to the Ativan support group. Perhaps you can find some helpful information there: Ativan Tapering Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
