ativan discontinuation

ativan discontinuation

I have been taking 1mg of ativan for three years, some days during this time I took a half in the morning and the other half in the evening. Some days  I only took .5 mg.  I saw a cardiologist and all tests were negative, I was placed on a small beta blocker and told to stop the ativan. My cardiologist and  PC doctor said I should  just stop taking the ativan  My pharmacist said just cut back over a period of a few days. I am now down to .25 for the last few days and only have eight quarter tablets left. I am not fearful of the withdrawal, but so worried about a seizure, no one else seems to be. Thank you for any adivce on this.
