A bit anxious - Stopping Ativan

Thu, 10-05-2006 - 12:03pm

I've been doing quite well for a month and 1/2 now. I decided to stop taking the Ativan. I'm on .5 mg. and started taking half yesterday. I've been on it & paxil cr for almost 4 months. The paxil is working well and I only take the ativan once in the a.m. before I get up. Today I've been feeling a bit anxious, but not too bad. I would like to hear from others who have tappered off ativan or klonopin (SP?). Thanks!
