Joe,
I definitely see your doctor's logic in having you take 1 mg of Ativan three times daily. From what I understand, taking 1 mg three times daily doesn't seem like an excessive dose, and there does seem to be some logic to prescribing you a little more than what you've been taking, given that you were on the verge of a meltdown, as you put it. Hopefully reducing your Ativan dose back to 2.5 mg or 2 mg daily shouldn't prove to be too difficult if you and your doctor end up going back down to a lower dose eventually. So, I'm not an expert by any means (so take what I write with a grain of salt), but I think that having you take 1 mg of Ativan three times daily for now makes sense. As much as I prefer keeping my doses of psychiatric medications low, I see the logic in your doctor's decision to have you take a little more Ativan than what you were taking previously.
