Brief Answer:
you can switch back to ativan.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concerns.

If you were feeling well on ativan, I think there is no reason to change the drug.

Why did your doctor change the drug?

In my opinion, you can switch back to your original dose of ativan.

Discuss this with your doctor.

Feel free to discuss further.

Kindly close the discussion if you are satisfied with the response and give your valuable feedback.

Take care.
Thanks.
