Re: Help me with lorazepam (Ativan) withdrawal...

If you've been taking 1 mg of Ativan every night for a year you will experience rebound insomnia. I suggest you try to switch to Doxepin (a tricyclic AD) or Remeron, a newer sedating AD. Ativan is short acting and can put you in withdrawal during the day...best to discuss your plans with your GP. Cold turkey off any benzo can spell trouble. Best of luck.
