After 3 years on Klonopin, then 4 on Ativan (8 mg per day), I was cut-off after a voluntary detox from prescribed pain management Morphine. No doctor (including ER) would reinstate. The Morphine was a relative (6 day) breeze compared to the nearly 1 year horriffic withdrawals from Ativan, of which they detox hosp. gave me only a 6 day taper.
There's a Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Support Group on Facebook if anyone's in need of help regarding benzo withdrawal, or considering it.

@rfears1 that is a perfect description of what i should of said.. spot on! Im on .50 now and at the time this video was shot i was on 2mg.. at any rate, im 100% sure the same withdrawals (sensations, etc) will occur at .50. My doctor went ahead and gave me a 3 month prescription then gave me an extra one (hard copy script) just in case there is ever a gap when they are closed, holidays etc..
i couldnt refill ativan for 3 weeks and my doctor gave me enough xanax until i could get the ativan but its so hard even a day without the ativan im starting to worry bout running out again lol

@sexya863254 ugh, i know the feeling.. next time just half some of your ativan (your body wont tell the difference) that way you have enough in the long run for emergencies.. my temporary xanax given to me did not help me much, but it did keep me from having those horrible shakes, etc.. barely..

Surprised to hear your experience re: ativan/Lorazepam... because it sounds more like a withdrawal from remeron/Mirtazapine. Your ativan/Lorazepam experience is identical to my experience with remeron/Mirtazapine. (by the way, I've never had a problem with 1mg Lorazepam) But, it took about 4 months for me to taper down from remeron/Mirtazapine until I was finally practically licking Mirtazapine dust, ULTRA slow tapering down, ULTRA low dose, and now free from Mirtazapine. Good Luck friend!

@LoveLightLife i figured remeron had some withdrawal side effect but no one here on youtube has posted such experience.. I took half of remeron one day thinking it wouldnt do nothing and the next day i felt bad, but no where near like ativan's side effects.. perhaps 2 or 3 days would be bad off remeron. In this video though, that very first night i had remeron, except ativan and well the rest you know according to my video. I will consider tapering remeron in the future thanks to you. :)
