Trying the fast track off of Lorazepam

[[Ke...]]

Ive read all the stuff about tapering off Lorazepam but I seriously don't have time to take it that slow. I'm graduating a 6 month CDL program with job pre hires and just found out that I can't drive a commercial motor vehicle on this drug. The longer I take to get off of it, the longer I can't work. Been taking 2 1/2, 1mg tabs a day down from 3 for the past 4 days now and going longer distances between doses with no side effects as of yet. When can I expect this to catch up to me? I plan to go to only 2 doses next week and keep on going down from there. I just dont have months to get off this stuff. Any advice on how crazy I am or how to minimize side effects on my fast track are welcome!

Well, you have reasons to do this the way you think.  I sure hope it works well for you going at that pace.  My hubby was on lorazepam.. its been tough, at a slow wd, but each body is differant and does handle it differant.  I wish you the best. Pattylu

Thanks Pattilu, I had dropped from 3 - 1 mg tabs per day to 2 1/2 per day the first week, now I am at 2 tabs a day on my second week with no problems, hope it continues!
