So ive been taking ativan for about 5 days in a row then stopped for one and started again and its been 4 days in a row now including today, am i at risk for any bad side affects if i stop? its for panic attacks, i wanna stop but scared.?

Just use as needed, i.e. when you're about or having an attack, not routinely, you should be fine. If you are scared of withdrawal syndrome, you just create problem yourself.

If you wish to get off ativan I recommend a slow taper with the agreement & supervision of your prescribing physician. He/she may be confident that you'll be able to manage/prevent panic attacks with cognitive behavioral treatment & coaching.
