I was given Ativan .5mg by my psychiatrist. I have taken a 1/4 of a pill for 2 days and 1/2 a pill and wonder if it ok to not take anymore. It doesn't make me feel great and I don't want to continue and have withdrawal. I should have withdrawal stopping it now? Thanks

Do your homework on benzo's. Very difficult to come off of if you've been on for a while. Fortunately you haven't. Benzobuddies or Ashton's manual are good information. I'm currently doing a very slowly taper, 3-5% every 2-4 week's being on for 4 year's.
Good for you being proactive on them. Alot to know. Learn all you can before taking any benzo's or SSRI's is what I share as I didn't and now paying the price getting off of them.
