Help! taking 1mg of ativan (lorazepam) x 3 a day 4 7months. i'm very worried about tapering and the seizures and coma i've heard about. how can i safely do this?

See a psychiatrist.: A psychiatrist can transition you to a longer acting benzodiazepine and slowly taper you off while minimizing the withdrawals symptoms and complications including seizure.

Gentle withdrawal: Slowly reduce by one half pill per day per week - 1 - 1/2 - 1 then 1/2 - 1/2 - 1 then 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/2 then 1/2 - 0 - 1/2 then 0 - 0 - 1/2 then none; this will allow adjustment without withdrawal reaction.
