What Are The Side Effects Of Ativan?
My doctor switched me from taking 4 mg of klonopin to 4 mg of Ativan. He said there does not need to be any weaning off because they are both in the same family yet I am experiencing nausea and vomiting. I have been on klonopin for almost 15 years. Should I be weaning off the klonopin while taking the Ativan?

Klonopin has to be gradually weaned off like taking it 1/2 tab for 2 days 1/4 for 2 days. Take Tab Domperidone 8th hourly along with tab ranitidine 150 mg in empty stomach twice daily along with Tab Gelusil(Antacid) 3 tab 3-4 times daily.
