Discuss with MD: To get off ativan, (lorazepam) you must be switched to another drug (like prozac) and then weaned slowly over months. See your primary care physician for this.

Omega 3's: Do it gradually. Cut it down to 1/2 then when ok to 1/4. If there are no contraindications use calming supplements like melatonin for sleep, cortitrol for adrenal help, omega3s for their anti-inflammatory potency and find someone you can talk to when life gets hard. Omega3's will also help the dry eye.
