A member asked:
I have been taking 1mg of ativan twice daily (2mg a day) for 5 months. i want to stop but scared of seizure. will this be painful withdrawal?

Dangerous withdrawal: You need to see the prescribing doctor and discuss with him. 5 months is not a long time but long enough for a dependancy. See your doctor and work with him
