I take Ativan too. I would hope her doctor told her it is addictive

if taken daily. It is like Valium, only stronger.

She can check out the benzo group. They help people withdraw

from these type of drugs (benzodiazepines.) And of course there is the

Withdrawal and Recovery group on as well. Also, she can google

the Ashton Manual. There is a ton of advice there which is useful,

including how to switch over to Valium, which is generally easier to wean.

Take care, and good luck,

It's a simple misspelling, the drug name for Ativan is Lorazepam and

searching that

with withdrawal gets more data

Good luck, benzos are deadly if withdrawal is done abruptly.
