I hope to meet others and learn ways to help myself with my anxiety

I've been taking Ativan .5mg for a couple of months and dont like the effect and would like to taper off and see whether I can deal with my anxiety via some new tools that I have learned such as breathing, meditating, tapping and a little CBT

love to all

Welcome to BenzoBuddies, John Shots.

 

Glad to hear you're ready to taper from Ativan after fairly short use.  Longterm use tends to make anxiety worse simply due to the nature of benzodiazepines.

 

Here are a couple of boards to begin posting to.

  Anxiety 

 

When you have a chance, I highly recommend that you take a look at The Ashton Manual, which is an authoritative source on what to expect during withdrawal and recovery, authored by Dr. C. Heather Ashton, who is an expert in the field. It provides a great deal of information that can be very reassuring during any stage of this process, including a list of common symptoms with helpful explanations on the reasons for their existence.
