I came off of Ativan last week. It was HORRIBLE. Thankfully it only lasted 2 days. I think everyone is different but you need to speak with your medical doctor first.
Perfect example as to why tapering needs to be done under a doctor's supervision. We're not permitted to give specific dosing instructions, just an fyi. Your instructions above would actually put the OP into significant withdrawals, it would be WAY too fast.
Sorry you had such an awful experience! Hopefully the OP will have an easier time with the proper taper!

You definitely need to be SLOWLY tapered under the guidance of the prescribing doctor. You can expect an increase in anxiety and some rebound insomnia while discontinuing Ativan. This really isn't the most optiimal choice as a treatment for insomnia, and most Rx's for insomnia are supposed to be short term only.
You're going to need to research and discuss with your doc alternative ways for you to get to sleep after you come off the Ativan, because like I said, rebound insomnia is very common.
Do not try this without your doctor, even a once a day dose of a benzodiazepine can lead you to problems if you try d/cing it too quickly.
Best of luck!
