How to Get Back to 1X Daily Dose from 2X?


[Mo...]

Recommended Posts

Posting in a couple of places in hopes of a solution.  In a couple of ways, things got better once I split my K dose into 2 but I'm still having lots of trouble stabilizing after getting off the PPI.  However, previously, I would always take K at night before bed and since I split, I don't sleep as long, I wake up with the cortisol surges, akathasia, paresthesia, more dizziness.  Previously, I would obviously get interdose W/D and heightened anxiety in the late afternoon/evening before my dose, in addition to nausea.  In some ways, I'm regretting splitting up the dose, though I did so to try and "stabilize" as many have said to do before.  Does anyone know how I can get back to 1x daily dose without causing more CNS damage or w/d symptoms?  i know this is contrary to what many have done/said to do.

Hi, I'm on 1 mg of lorazepam and I take it at night. I was wondering if it was better to split the pill in half, but now after reading your post, I m not sure what to do. You think it was better to only dose once per day instead of twice
