Hello, I have stopped drinking after 10 years, my dr put me on Ativan to get through the withdrawl. I am now down to .25 mg a day of Ativan, starting with 2 mg a day four weeks ago. What are the chances of having bad withdrawls from Ativan if I stop the .25 mg? Thanks :)
As long as you titrating the Ativan slowly down, do not fear of the withdrawal symptoms. By the time you will stop the medication at all without any side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
