[Everything doTERRA] Re: Weaning off lorazepam (Ativan)

Thanks Nicole.  I will try this.  

I only take the lorazepam once a day (0.5 mg), and if I try to reduce it I get so tense I can't relax enough to go to sleep, or I get very anxious with tingling on my scalp and arms, sometimes to the point I shiver and shake uncontrollably.  I realize, now that I know what this is, that I need to reduce the dose more slowly a week or more at a time and only in very small increments.  

My doctor isn't much help.  She can't see why I don't just take the lorazepam and not worry about the side effects.  "After all, you're 76 years old !" As if I am going to die tomorrow.":(
