Hello, I have been taken activan for 16 rs, for anxiety. insomnia, After the death of my husband.... 2 mg before bedtime. I would like to stop taking this medication,I tried but have had terrible side effects .Is it possible for me to be off this medication entirely.Would it cause death if I try... Thank You, Marianna

HiThanks for using healthcare magicIn that case, you need another drug for sedation. I would prefer sedative antidepressant like trazodone or mirtazapine. That would help you to decrease the anxiety as well as depressive symptoms also and you would able to stop ativan without any problem. Better to consult a psychiatrist for further help.Thanks
