i know some people have been curious about weaning off of benzos becuase it can be really hard.
i was on 4 mg of ativan a day and it was making me so tired and not remember shit. i asked my doctor to switch me to a longer lasting more potent one, klonopin. so i was prescribed 2 mg a day which is the same equivilant of 4 mg a day of ativan. since switching, i have cut out .75 mg in 3 weeks down to 1.25 mg a day. its much easier to taper off. im feeling fine so far but probobly wont taper off again till after my period and pms so not till the first week of next month.
i cant drink on the klonopin thats a huge drawback for me becuase it give me horrible migranes if i try. im having serious anger issues since i quit, but im not sure if thats my emotions coming back after 3.5 years of anxiety meds or the not drinking.
in any case, i had a really bad addiction to my prescribed ativan and this really worked for me to help me get off of it. im hoping the rest of the tapering off is just as ssmooth. figured i would put the info out there becuase i know theres a lot of girls here with anxiety issues.
