Intro-Lorazepam for my catatonia


[br...]

Recommended Posts

Joining benzobuddies to hear about how other’s experienced similar situations to mine.

 

On lorazepam 1mg daily starting 4 months ago, now down to .25 mg per day. Not feelin too good:/

 

Originally took lorazepam to treat mild/moderate catatonia. The catatonia is coming back, but I’m being required by my dr to get off lorazepam, so here I am.

Welcome bud, like you I started out with a pretty, steep cut before I found BB.  I have learned from others that there are slower taper methods that are working for them with less withdrawal symptoms, I believe you are the right place ;) denise :):thumbsup:
