Tapering Ativan 1mg

My mother has been prescribed 1mg of Ativan every day at bedtime only for 2 months but in the second month my mother started showing benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.

Tightness and breathing issues

Severe neck and back stiffness, particularly on the left side. Occasional sharp spasms that can happen elsewhere in the body, leading to temporary relief. My breathing is also affected. Recently consulted an NHS walk-in centre and was diagnosed with an anxiety issue and as a result, completed a prescribed short Diazepam course.

Intermittent pain right to sternum

I am 43 yr old male. I Had intermittent pain 1 inch right to the mid of sternum... immediately consulted cardiologist. ECG done 4 hourly, echo, USG whole abdomen, enzyme all tests found okay. Lipid profile ratio was 4.6 for which I was given Rosuvastin F. Since I was on train  journey for last 5 days, I had luggage lifting, acidity, and cold exposure, lack of sound sleep as well They also suggested paracetamol 650, diazepam, and nanofast gel to apply on the chest. However, they concluded unstable angina and suggested for TMT, and angiography which are yet to be done. My pain subsided completely on 3rd day. Is the diagnosis going in right direction?

Mood swings.

I've used diff meds for depression in the past for 2 years. I was on escitlopram , clonazepam, diazepam, mirtazapine, amisulpide, queitipine, etizolam, flupenthizol and many other meds. However I stopped many  drugs as it were making me forget things. So now the symptoms have come back regressively and when I had gone to doc physically he said it's bipolar depression as there's lot of mood swings. He wrote lithosun. Now I couldn't tolerate that drug for some reason and when I said this to him he was not at all keen to change the drug. He prescribe the same thing again. I took online consultation doc wrote flouvoxamine and clonazepam and wrote diagnosis as cluster b traits? What is it? I'm expressing severe mood swings. I'm not able to keep calm, sudden anger, sudden frustration, guilt regrets even over small things, chest is paining, feeling short of breath, i never felt that earlier. This is extremely weird for me, I'm not able to eat not able to sleep. Extremely annoying. Please help
