Quit Lorazepam

I have been an occasional user of benzos for some years now and taking Lorazepam (low doses) daily for the last two years now. I feel pretty good in general but I am thinking about quitting out of reading all that stuff about long term side effects. I have tried twice in the past year, not bad withdrawal symptoms, just hard to fall asleep (Lorazepam has helped me with my chronic insomnia, though I never intended to use it for that). I quit clonazepam cold turkey some years ago, no withdrawal whatsoever.

    you are ONE of the lucky ones. It is wonderful to hear of someone who had an easy withdrawal from clonazepam. It was a nightmare for me. I took it for 18 months ........5 mg daily.

    I was just thinking yesterday that is is hard to decide which is worse. Weaning off and post withdrawal OR this virus.
