Ativan (lorazepam)?: Do you mean the anxiety med Ativan (lorazepam)? Best to work with your doc to taper off the med. U don't mention how many times a day u take it; so suggesting tapering regimen best left to your fp/prescriber. Limit caffeine & other stimulants while eliminating the med. Use meditation, exercise, tai chi, yoga, biofeedback for stress/anxiety relief.
