I see this as a big unaddressed problem.
Doctors don’t know how to coach patients to avoid dangers of seizures while tapering
Ativan & other Benzos & helping them get off to avoid dementia.
Would like to find your info for tapering off Alprazolam. Been taking 1.5 mg nightly for about 4 years for sleep. In 11 months I am down to .50 to .75 mg. Want to get off these for good but can’t seem to just stop.
