If i take less the a milligram a day of ativan (lorazepam) will i have withdrawals if i stop that amout been on that amount since last year. dr no wd stoping ?

Lorazepam Withdrawal: Ativan/lorazepam 0.5mg daily can lead to withdrawal in some people. The longer you have been taking it the greater the risk, but such a small dose generally will have only a short (3-10 days) withdrawal. Stopping higher doses can be life-threatening (seizures), especially if the dose is very rapidly lowered. The symptoms for which rx was first given may return and be mistaken for withdrawal.

Please see your Psychiatrist for an evaluation of your medication. If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist please see another for a second opinion
