Help!!! Not sure what to do?

[[Ma...]]

I took ativan (on and off) for one year. Between August 2016-October 2016 I took them more frequently than ever. Maybe 1-3 mg. per week. I was always careful to not take them too close together. Started with anxiety and other symptoms after that. Tried to stay away from them Dec., but then took a few here and there Jan.-Feb. 2017. In May started with bad anxiety again. I took 1-2 mg in June. Then July I took 4-5 mg. Since then I have started on .25 clonazepam for 11 days. Straight. So scared I've created a dependency now. Should I taper this or cold turkey??? I need help deciding. Thank you all!

If I were you, I would take .125mg for a 2 or 3 days then stop completely.  You may get some rebound anxiety and insomnia, and worse case scenario feel really crummy for a week or two, but with your sporadic and short term usage, I wouldn't do a taper, which leads to you being on the medication longer.
