So if you are on 2 Mg twice a day reduce it to 3MG a day for a month.
Then reduce it to 2 MG a day for a month
then to 1 Mg a day for a month
then .5 Mg a day for a month
now you are Ativan Free!
I am not a Doctor nor did i play on on "One life to live" but since we truly only do have one to live lets make it a damn good one! if you choose to use any of this advice know that weaning from any Med can be uncomfortable and if at any time you feel like this weaning is out of control or there's something wrong Present yourself to the nearest Emergency Department for triage and Care.

and my knowledge of drugs and lawsuits is pretty good from my own experience and all, and all my doctors know dont even try and get me to take a drug thats not been on the market for at least five and even then its "iffy" if there are serious lawsuits against the drug. such 2 or three recent drugs that have come out that have a side effect profile of causing cancer who in there right mind is going to take that??
and i do truly share your pain i am just a week shy of turning 42 and i have so much wrong and so many causes for pain they cant tell me why i hurt(basicly they cant boil it down to one disease instead of the whole table full) no one has any doubt that i am in severe pain and i need my med's they just wish they could give me more answers.
