1MG of Lorazepram for 3 years

[[Bi...]]

I am 23 years old and was prescribed 1mg of Ativan for sleep 3 years ago. Didn't even know what a benzo was until I researched it, and it explained why getting off was so difficult. My goal is to taper off of Ativan and find healthy ways to relieve stress and sleep well.
