Ativan ( lorazepam ) Withdrawal
Hopefully you know this already, Ativan must be reduced very slowly. In 1999,
Jim Harper began assisting individuals off Ativan and other like medications. In
1999, there was not much information available about withdrawal and Jim had to
develop such a withdrawal program.
Ativan withdrawal "Thank you Jim for your unbelievable withdrawal method.
After 6 years on Ativan I am not off Ativan for 90 days and doing great. Your
statement - slow and steady wins the race - has made all the difference. Adding the
Harper drops Supreme for my depression was a great suggestion from you. I have
my life back." Jill
If you are currently in Ativan withdrawal and reading a long page or a book is too much
Click here and you can read a short version of what to do for Ativan withdrawal.
The first step Jim took was to describe and publish how to taper Ativan. Those
steps are still used today and most every drug manufacturer recommends these
simple steps.
“Reduce the Ativan ( lorazepam ) slowly and gradually. If Ativan withdrawal side effects begin
and they are too severe, go back up to the last dosage you were taking and feeling
fine at, remain at that Ativan dosage until you are ready to continue with the
Ativan taper. When you do resume the Ativan taper, reduce the Ativan slower this
time.
It is recommended Ativan withdrawal be at 5% and only reduce another 5 percent
every two weeks. No faster than that. It is ok to wait more days or weeks before
reducing further and you should not reduce the Ativan further if you are feeling
any withdrawal side effects.
In 1999, Jim found 50 percent of the people could get off the medication with this
method and 50 percent could not. The 50 percent that could withdrawal from
Ativan still suffered a degree of side effects.
Using his DNA testing laboratory, Jim ran hundreds of DNA test on individuals to
see if was something in common with the DNA of those suffering withdrawal. A
few things were isolated but the breakthrough came when testing our DNA for
nutritional supplement metabolism. Possibly you’ve heard of 21 and Me, the DNA
testing company out now. Their test was close to what Jim pioneered years before
but his was much more complete.
Using the DNA information, Jim first formulated supplements to help with Ativan
withdrawal in 2004. This turned out to be a major breakthrough for a successful
Ativan withdrawal.
Throughout the last two decades Jim’s program has become simplified. You no
longer need to read a 300 page book with all the details. You can follow the
instructions on most every supplement bottle. There’s one exception to that but this
is still very simple.
We know; anxiety in the daytime, insomnia at night are likely your biggest two
issues.

What is Ativan
Ativan is a benzodiazepine which is a class of drug that acts as central nervous
system depressant, or sedative and tranquilizer.
Ativan is an anxiolytic drug prescribed to treat seizure disorders and also panic
disorders by slowing down some of the bodily and brain functions related to
anxiety and stress. Ativan is thought to increase the presence of gamma amino-
butyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to slow down heart rate and blood
pressure, and calmemotional disturbances.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, warns that taking Ativan can be
habit-forming and that users may become physically and psychologically
dependent to the drug. Users should therefore not stop taking Ativan suddenly
without medical supervision due to the dangerous side effects, or Ativan
withdrawal symptoms that may occur after the discontinuation of the drug. Side
effects and withdrawal may occur in users who take the drug only as prescribed.
Ativan and other benzodiazepines are often abused and even taken with other
drugs and/or alcohol, which may increase the withdrawal side effects. The Drug
Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) reported that over 61,000 people sought
emergency department treatment for a negative reaction involving the recreational,
or nonmedical use.
Ativan when taken or abused for any length of time, can produce chemical changes
in the brain. Parts of the brain that are normally suppressed by the drug may
become accustomed to the interaction of the drug and stop functioning normally
without it. This is when a dependence on the drug has been formed. When Ativan
is removed, these functions that were being dampened are suddenly not, and a kind
of rebound may occur. The symptoms that Ativan may have been managing, such
as anxiety, panic, seizures, and insomnia, may then be magnified.
Withdrawal Symptoms
The drug should not be stopped suddenly or without the direct supervision and
guidance of a medical professional. Potentially fatal seizures or a coma may occur
with the sudden cessation of Ativan.
Withdrawal from Ativan can be dangerous and can be life-threatening.
Ativan withdrawal symptoms can include:
Headaches
Stomach pain
Nausea
Tremors
Sweating
Hallucinations
Dizziness
Fatigue
Confusion
Anxiety
Depression
Seizures
Thoughts of suicide
Acute withdrawal symptoms normally peak two weeks after stopping use of
Ativan, but subtle signs can last anywhere from a week to a month.
This is why most inpatient Ativan withdrawal programs do not work. They get you
off the medication but with the short withdrawal period by the time you are getting
off the plane on your return home the Ativan withdrawal is starting. We have
received thousands of request for help by people that have experienced this. We
can assist but it definitely more difficult.
It is very import you have a successful Ativan with your first attempt at coming off
Ativan.
Things Influencing Withdrawal
A positive note – The length of time you have been taking Ativan does not
make Ativan easier or more difficult. Once the Ativan has made it through
your system and the body is expecting more of it to function, the withdrawal is
the same. You may have taking Ativan for 30 days or 3 years; it really does
not matter.
You still need to do a Ativan withdrawal slowly and gradually.
Because Ativan is a high-potency benzodiazepine with a relatively short onset of
action, it is used in the treatment of serious anxiety disorders, such as panic
disorder.
However, these properties also leave open the potential for the development of a
serious physical dependence on Ativan. The syndrome of physical dependence
occurs as an individual’s system adjusts to the presence of a drug in the system and
in a sense learns to operate efficiently only when the drug is present in the system
at certain levels. Other system functions compensate for the presence of the drug,
and the release and maintenance of freestanding levels of neurotransmitters,
hormones, and the functioning levels of all systems in the body are adjusted
according to the presence of the drug.
When an individual stops taking the drug or reduces the dosage of the drug
significantly, and these freestanding levels of the drug in the system decline, the
individual’s system is thrown out of balance, resulting in a reaction that leads to
the release or inhibition of neurotransmitters, hormones, etc. This situation results
in the physical withdrawal symptoms that occur when one stops taking Ativan. The
physical withdrawal symptoms are accompanied by emotional and behavioral
symptoms that are very uncomfortable for the person.
