Like all benzodiazepines, Ativan can cause physical dependence. Suddenly stopping therapy may be associated with agitation, insomnia, seizures, tremors, vomiting, and sweating. The usual dose of Ativan for treating anxiety is 2-3 mg/day given in two or three divided doses.
In order to prevent the potentially dangerous side effects of Ativan withdrawal, such as seizures and rebound anxiety, medically supervised detox and a gradual drug taper are recommended. A drug taper involves a step-by-step, physician-prescribed reduction of the dose of Ativan, until the medication clears the personâs system.
