i, too, am tapering off lorazepam while detoxing from hydros.....not so much fun
as for the lorazepam, i was up to 3 mg. at night, then dropped to 2 mg. at night, then 1.5 mg. at night for a month, then it will be 1 mg at night for a month, then .5 mg at night for a month, and from there i'll jump off totally.....yes, we have to be careful with the benzos....this is the taper my doctor suggested for me.....
hope that helps, but please DO consult your doctor....good luck!!!

For the Lorazepam, I think you may want to discuss with your doc. Since it's a benzo, you should create a taper schedule. You and your doc will know whats best.
Personally, W/D from opiates for me created anxiety, so I do take an Ativan (Lorazepam) once in a while...it helps.
Ask your doc...
Good luck and keep posting
