Help me with lorazepam (Ativan) withdrawal...

Posted by janejj on January 4, 2003, at 16:10:16

I have been taking lorazepam 1mg before bedtime for over a year now. I want to stop taking this medication as I have an immigration medical coming up and do not want to be declined entry to the country.
I stopped taking it yesterday as is to be expected I am suffering rebound insomnia. I am also feeling very sick, anxious and depressed.
I need advise on how to minimize these withdrawal symptoms. I cannot reduce to 0.5mg blah, blah, blah, I need this drug out of my system.
I have also stopped taking Prozac, although I know I will not feel withdrawal from this for a least a month.
Thankyou
