Stopping Ativan (lorazepam): If you are able, you have to stop it slowly as there is a risk of seizure if you abruptly stop it. Try to gradually taper off. Go down one half milligram every 2-3 days. It is also advisable to discuss this with the physician prescribing this for you so you can be observed for worsening of your anxiety.
