I did not realize drinking wine daily was dangerous. I want to stop drinking completely; however I don't want to suffer the ill effects of stopping all at once- as it can be dangerous. I am wondering how to taper safely.
When I fly, I do not drink because I take two 1 mg doses of ativan (for a 6 hour flight)and i have not experienced alcohol withdrawal symptoms. If I detox at home with ativan, how much should I take so that I do not risk dangerous side effects?
