Uh-oh...the old benzo worries. I won't get into a rant, but let me express my opinion and that of the more rational docs I've run into-get well first, worry about dependence later. If it is of any comfort to you, I've withdrawan from Ativan, Xanax, and Klonopin-and Ativan was almost a joke. I tapered (quite quickly, BTW) and never felt so much as a tiny WD discomfort. Many people think Ativan is the easier benzo to withdraw from, and that certainly has been my experience. Unfortunately for me, Ativan also has no effect on me medicinally. :>}
