A member asked:
How bad of a withdraw symptoms will i get if i stop 0.5 mg ativan (lorazepam) that i have been taking for 10 days. does anything help to speed the process.

Ativan (lorazepam) withdrawal: You can reduce the potential symptoms during the withdrawal by slowly tapering off of Ativan (lorazepam) over time by 0.25 mg. The major symptom is a rebound insomnia that can be managed by using melatonin OTC. Good luck.
