Ativan question

[[Ma...]]

If I take .5 Ativan 2 to 3 times/day for 2 weeks while uploading Wellbutrin, what would be the best way to taper it?

Thank you,

If I were you I would make sure I would pick either 2 or 3 doses. And then take of a quarter every week. Maybe you could get away with that being on it for such a short time. It won't be comfortable. But staying on this medication longer will make it even harder to cut.

Great-2/day then 1/4 drop a week.

Thank you!

And try to balance your doses. So first diminish the AM dose and then the PM and vice versa. If you start having trouble with sleeping don't slow your taper. It will pass. You could also try to drop 1/8 every 4 days. Maybe that will lessen the symptoms. Lorazepam has a very short half-life so you'll feel drops within a day.

But you will be ok.
