Hi Aquarius 11 You should this take medication as prescribed from doctor . I have taken this medication for about 12 years and if i missed a day i had withdrawals . You have to be careful with Benzos and i found out the hard way there not for long term . Talk to your doctor or pharmacist . Be careful and good luck .

Hi Aquarius 11 , anxiety , felt lousy , no sleep and more . I detoxed for six months in 2018 and stopped lorazepam [ATivan] with help from pharmacist , doctor prescribed but did not know how to detox me . It has been four years and i still have rebound withdrawals every now and then . Be careful and talk to doctor . Good Luck and be safe .

Thank you..I am trying my best not to take it everyday as I'm afraid of the withdrawal but my insomnia is quite bad. I have tried many meds but no luck, so i stress if to think about my sleep.
