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.

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.

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.

If side effects become too much, reduce the Ativan by 2% instead of the 5%. Talk to your pharmacist and physician about having the Ativan compounded to these Ativan withdrawal amounts. 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.
