Suggest An Alternative Of Lorazepam

I am currently taking Lorazepam, originally prescribed for sleep... I am trying to wean off the Lorazepam, but find myself feeling more anxious... Is there any other medication you can recommend to replace Lorazepam as I have heard it is anticholinergic... Is it safe to go cold turkey and stop using the medication??? I also take Lunesta...

You can try alternatives like zolpidem which are free of side effects and it’s not anticholinergic.
