Dizziness. Lorazepam Withdrawal? Or what

2024-05-27 08:42:32
I was on Ativan for 5 years for insomnia. It stopped helping me sleep, so have been tapering for 4 months from 4mg, to 2mg, to 1mg, now .75mg. I am always dizzy/giddy. Feel imbalance. In online and YouTube searches never say dizziness is withdrawal symptom. I consulted 3 psychiatrists but they just gave other drugs that didn't help so I stopped taking them soon after to avoid withdrawals. I do deep breath and acupressure daily. Nothing stops dizziness. What to do? I live in Bangalore and don't know what kind of doctor to consult. Lucky I am sleeping okay as I'm taking some natural supplements that help, along with acupressure for sleep. But how to stop my disturbing dizziness?

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with dizziness during your Ativan tapering process. It's essential to consult with a medical professional who specializes in addiction medicine or withdrawal management. You need to consulta neuro at the earliest.
