My father (74 yrs) is heavily addicted to
ativan. He used to take 10mg
ativan daily? after lot of persuation and meeting with doctor doses has come down to 6 mg. But he is having withdrawal symptoms, like, palpitation, bouts of depression, confusion etc.
The doctor has suggested to taper the dose, 6mg to continue for 4 weeks, then 5mg for 4 weeks, then switching over to campose and then again tapering. Will you please suggest me what should be the right tapering regime?
