How do you get off Ativan slowly and safely?
I took it to help me sleep for about a month. I would take only like .05 or 1 at night time.
Chosen Answer:
At first consult your doctor. You might have some other problem like anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc. and doctor will give you the right medication and prescribe the amount to reduce. Ativan is narcotic and have to be careful on usage. But if you are only taking .05mg, or 1 for a month and really want to get off it, it won’t be very hard. You will feel uncomfortable for a few days when starting to reduce but you will feel fine soon. Good luck!
