[quote=Anonymous]I have been prescribed lorazepam since 2003 by a medication management psychiatrist. 0.5 mg pills. I took 2 a day 2003-2017, tapered at my request off per his directions in a couple of months. Did not take until late 2018 when DH nearly died in hospital of surgical complications. I wanted to get off because I realize most of my "anxiety" is missing a dose and my body needing it. I am there again. My doctor says it's a low dose why worry but I don't like being physically dependent and thus in a jam if he dies. He is quite elderly now. Since 2019 I have been taking 3 a day. 1 in am, 2 before dinnertime. I told him I wanted to taper. He said oh if you want. So I started 8/19 going from 1,2 to 1,1-1/2. It has been a week and I was able to sleep ok last night, no crawly legs. I will continue on that for a few more days and plan to reduce next weekend. [/quote]
