Don't do it by self: Tapering off Lorazepam and hydrocodone, especially at the same time, requires someone with expertise to guide you as to how to do it. There is an old saying - the person who is their own doctor has a fool for a patient. Find an expert in addiction medicine (www.Asam.Org or www.Aaap.Org) who can help guide you in doing it right, not relapsing, and finding alternatives to treat pain/anxiety.

Taper off slowly: Lortab is an opioid and Ativan (lorazepam) is a benzodiazepine. These are effective medications for short term use, long term use very addicting. You need close monitoring during tapering process. It is difficult but in the long run best course to take.
