Hello Ativan Buddies!
I was on 3 to 4 [...] for 6 weeks, then within a week went down to 2 - not much happened, but little did I know then.
My family practicioner wanted me to cross over to Clobazam, which I took about 6 days and then stopped again c/t. Then he wanted me on Oxazepam to cross over, which I took for 5 days and then c/t.
Somehow I just felt this crossing over wasn't the way for me on a psychological level. I can't stand the thought of taking another drug to get rid of the present one, although its "just" another Benzo supposed to help me. Also, I have severe adrenal and thyroid issues, and also some sex hormones are out of tune, so I didn't want to have any additional symptoms I couldn't place just from the crossing or the different Benzo. (Those problems were the reason I got the Benzos prescribed in the first place.) So, against all other advice, I decided to stick to [...] (in my country it's called Temesta). Besides that the [...] wouldn't prescribe me Valium anyway. So here I am.
I then cut more, and at 1.5 started liquid titration in milk (many experiments I did showed that it was better for my pills/brand than water, because milk [...] denser and heavier and therefore the particles don't drop so fast to the ground). [...] I have arrived at .75 by dropping .03 every day for about three weeks and some holding, and have just switched over from 3 times to 5 times because of the short half life. I think it was the right decision,
but I wonder if the lower dose per time I take it makes any symptoms momentarily? Does anybody know?
I felt very bad when arriving at 1., but generally it has been going well for me in comparison to others, I guess. But then again I can't really tell the difference between all my symptoms and where they come from anyway. And I'm still on a relatively high dose. Guided meditation has helped me, and so has EFT.
So I've just decided on doing .15 5 times now: 8am, 12:30, 5pm, 10 pm, 3am (3am [...]

Looking forward to reading from you!
Thanks for any inputs!
