Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
If you have cut off lorazepam to up to half pill/day, I advise to continue for one week at this dosage.
After that, you can reduce the dosage to a quarter of the pill/day, until you stop it completely.
Please be in close contact with your medical team in order to take proper care in case unusual symptoms would appear.
Good luck!
