Have quit lorazepam (Ativan), still sleeping well

by fcasagni on Fri Jun 16, 2017 6:06 am

I've been taking a 10 mg maintenance dose of Revlimid for 5 years now and also a 1 mg daily dose of lorazepam (Ativan), in the evening, to help with sleeping. I decided to quit taking lorazepam, thinking that perhaps it was not as helpful as it used to be. After a week of very minor withdrawal symptoms, I am sleeping as good, if not better.

Just passing on the information.

Ativan was very helpful to me for years, but I am reaching the same conclusion as you. Thanks.
