Oky so I'll cut to the chase , I've been on 1mg Ativan for what I think for about 6 to 8 months now , but the doctor desided to put me on cylift , but I'm worried I've been using Ativan almost daily , is it safe to start the cylift and just stop the ativan , Cause Im feeling weird and shaky , but could this just be my health anxiety again

    yes its safe. ive done this on pills before. the new pill should counter act the other pill and not give side effects.

      So I can just start using the cylift and not worry about withdrawal symtoms of the ativan ?? Cause I heard the withdrawal symtoms are crazy

      theres more or less the same chemicals in most of these meds so it should just compensate for the other. i switched from a high level of fluoxitine over to sertraline. i never had any withdrawal.

    you should be fine just swapping. if you do feel withdrawal off the avitan then just reduce the avitin untill it goes away. take an avitan 1 day then wait 2 days take another, then 3 days and so on.
