A member asked:

On ativan 2-4mg for about a month and a half. asked to taper and doctor gave 60 1mg tablets. is this enough to taper off safely? need taper schedule.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor supervision: Tapering Ativan should be individualized, carefully monitored by prescribing physician and flexible if underlying symptoms or signs of withdrawal occur. Don't have enough information about your medical/psych history to determine a taper schedule. Ativan is given for different reasons, anxiety being one. Contact prescribing doc to discuss your need for tapering supervision. I hope this helps.
