hi
your body has become dependant on this tablet and you need de addiction. this has to be done gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms. initially start on a replacement therapy, try taking a similar drug with low does, and then gradually lower the doses till its brought to minimum.
thanks

HI
TAPER THE DOSES OF ATIVAN GRADUALLY . IF YOU TAKE 1 TABLET PRESENTLY..THEN LOWER IT TO HALF TABLET FOR FEW DAYS..THEN SWITCH TO HALF TABLET ON ALTERNATE DAYS AND THEN TWICE WEEKLY.LIKEWISE YOU CAN SLOWLY GET RID OF THE TABLET
