human
I have been take ativan for 2 years now. My doctor put me on it for Panic disorder. I take 1.5 MG a day. I want to get off of this, I m not stressed out anymore, but the medicine is making me have panic attacks. My doctor never told me about the side effects. What can I take to get off of this?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicThere are two ways to take off ativan. Either, you can take another benzodiazepine with longer effect like clonazepam and gradully decrease it dose or you can take antidepressant like paroxetine that would look after anxiety attack. It would be better to discuss with your psychiatrist about another  treatment options.Thanks
