You didn’t say how long you have been off the Ativan or if it was gradually tapered. If it’s been more than 3-5 days it is unlikely that you will have a withdrawal seizure.

Hopefully, you tapered off slowly over many days, and if you have been off for several weeks, the chance of a seizure, at this point, would be highly unlikely. CBD might be of great value, BUT, very expensive. Also, the amount needed for you might be uncertain. Discuss how to dose and use CBD with your doctor.
