What Is The Withdrawal Procedure For Lorazepam?

I have been taking 4MG of Lorazepam every evening for several years. I want to wean myself off and get on something natural I have been seeing a natural healing person for other issues and he gave me Cortisol Manager to try. How do I wean myself off Lorazepam while using this product?

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Lorazepam is a drug used for treating anxiety. Tapering is a long procedure and often created havoc if done improperly. I suggest bring the doze down to 2mg twice daily for one month. 2mg once daily for two months. 1 mg twice daily for one month. 1 mg once daily for two months. .5 mg twice daily for one month. .5 mg once daily for two months. Then stop.

If you experience anxiety symptoms in between, you have to continue the previous dose. Consult a psychiatrist for clarity.

Good luck. Take care.
