One off updose during taper? Is it OK? Help!

[[Li...]]

Hi All,

I am down to .25mg liquid taper of lorazepam.

Last night, I had to sample a new brand, and cut the tablet to somewhere between .25mg and .5mg. This was a one off.

Is it alright to return to my .25mg liquid taper tonight of my old brand?

I started this benzo to treat newly onset tinnitus. I am so scared it is going to make it worse.

Thanks, Everyone!

Lisa

I don't know for sure how it will affect you but I would definitely try to just go back IMO.

I agree with G. Go right back up. I don't think it will be much of a problem...Bets

Thanks, went back down to where I was in my liquid taper. It was OK.

But when I had updosed that one night to try a dry cut of the new med (as my old brand will not be available soon), a new high pitched tinnitus started, and has stayed with me two days later. Argh. So upset.

That high tone tinnitus created by that one off brand change of lorazepam that one night is still there, and I am not sleeping even more now. Surely this is not going to last forever? Argh.
