    thats because you were on it for a long period of time and it would take longer to withdraw from the ativan after 10 years of taking it.

      I never took more than .05 mg for the duration of the time I was on it. I tapered off over 2 1/2 weeks until I stopped all together. I don't expect to have any symptoms since I don't have any after 10 days totally off ativan.
